Query New Zealand grant opportunities and grant-distribution history from DIA/Granted.govt.nz Class 4 gambling grants and CommunityMatters fund pages. Use when the task involves current NZ community grant opportunities, CommunityMatters fund criteria/source pages, pokie/Class 4 grant recipient history, funders, half-year periods, recipients, or Territorial Local Authority grant totals. Read-only and no API key required; upstream bot protection may require graceful retry or skip.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# NZ Grants

## Goal

Find current New Zealand public grant opportunities and inspect grant distribution history using official public sources:

- DIA / Granted.govt.nz Class 4 gambling grants CSV, published through data.govt.nz.
- CommunityMatters public funds and opportunity pages, parsed from HTML when reachable.

## Use this when

- A user asks for current NZ community grant opportunities or CommunityMatters fund pages.
- A workflow needs an official source URL, summary text, criteria/application links, or a slug for a CommunityMatters fund.
- A user asks about Class 4 / pokie grant recipients, funders, distribution totals, half-year periods, or Territorial Local Authority history.
- A task needs machine-readable JSON from public grant sources with no account login.

## Do not use this for

- Applying for grants, logging into funding portals, submitting forms, or changing any record.
- Circumventing CAPTCHA, Incapsula, Cloudflare, or other request challenges. Treat those as upstream unavailable.
- Frozen Lottery recipient CSVs on CKAN; those are explicitly out of scope for this skill.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint

mdr add thecolab-ai/.skills/nz-grants@sha256:0fe225013e7b1c06

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260719.1748a98, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
