Finds and qualifies foundation funders for a nonprofit by fit-scoring prospects on mission alignment, typical grant size, geographic focus, and past-grantee similarity, reading the funder's 990 for real priorities and median grant size, and sizing the pipeline at 4-5x the annual grant goal. Use when a nonprofit leader says "find foundations that would fund us", "is this funder worth applying to", "how many grants do we need in the pipeline", or "what does this funder's 990 tell us". Do NOT use…
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.

Every poorly fit application burns two to four staff-weeks that a three-person team does not have. This skill qualifies funders before any writing starts, so the writing time goes only to prospects with a real 20-30 percent chance of winning.

How to install
mdr add skillmedev/skills/grant-prospect-researcher@sha256:4de741e89d8f7ff7The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260705.a28c4ce, 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.
