Overview

## What Kindora Funder Discovery does

Kindora searches foundations by what they have actually funded. The listing puts coverage at over 168,000 foundations with grant records behind them, which supports the question a fundraiser really asks: not who gives money, but who gives money to organisations like this one.

Two tools answer that directly by working backwards from examples, finding the funders of peer organisations and the funders of a named nonprofit. Around them sit foundation profiles, IRS 990 summaries, grant histories, NTEE code lookups and open grant search. Job listings at funders are searchable too. This connector carries the partner tier.

### Who it is for

Nonprofit leaders identifying funders that already support comparable causes.

### Tool surface

Thirteen tools answered against eight claimed. Beyond search\_funders and get\_funder\_profile sit get\_990\_summary, get\_foundation\_grants and get\_funder\_stats, plus two that work from example: find\_funders\_for\_peers and find\_funders\_of\_nonprofit.

Availability

## Where Kindora Funder Discovery is listed

Kindora Funder Discovery is listed in the Claude connectors directory only. Kindora has no app under the same domain in the ChatGPT directory; 392 of the 3,150 products here are on both marketplaces, and this is not one of them.

The MCP server behind a Claude connector is usually the same server a ChatGPT app would need, so the absence is a distribution decision rather than a technical one.

Claude listing

## In the Claude connectors directory

Kindora Funder Discovery publishes 8 tools to Claude. That is a mid-sized surface: 37.7% of the 1,253 Claude-listed connectors expose fewer.

The median Claude-listed connector filed under Nonprofit publishes 5.5, so this one runs 2.5 tools above its bucket's median and ranks 2nd of 8 by tool count.

It falls in the 7-10 tools band, which holds 14.6% of the Claude directory.

### Measured against the live endpoint

A direct call to the endpoint returned 13 tools, 5 more than the 8 the listing publishes. Probed 2026-08-07.

Kindora Funder Discovery publishes a remote MCP endpoint. Claude connects to it over HTTP; there is nothing to install locally.

Every connector in the Claude directory is remote, all 1,253 of them, so transport is not a differentiator there.
