Query Public Trust New Zealand public grants and scholarships through the unauthenticated grants search index and public detail pages. Use when the task involves finding Public Trust-managed NZ grant or scholarship opportunities by keyword, organisation/individual type, region, sector, or application-open status, or checking public grant criteria text. Read-only; no login, application submission, SmartyGrants form access, or paywalled/commercial grant database scraping.

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

# Public Trust Grants

## Goal

Find Public Trust NZ grant and scholarship listings from the public grants search page and fetch readable text from public grant detail pages.

## Use this when

- The user asks for Public Trust grants, NZ trusts administered by Public Trust, or scholarships listed at `publictrust.co.nz/grants`.
- You need to search by keyword, `individual` vs `organisation`, region facet, sector facet, or `applications_open_now`.
- You need a source URL and public summary/criteria text for a specific Public Trust grant.

## Do not use this for

- givUS, Fundsorter, GEM Local, GrantsGuru, Funding HQ, Strategic Grants GEMS, or other commercial/library-sponsored grant databases.
- Logging in, bypassing paywalls/CAPTCHAs, submitting applications, or interacting with SmartyGrants forms.
- Treating Public Trust listings as a complete national grants database; it only covers grants/scholarships Public Trust publishes.

## CLI workflow

The tool is in `scripts/cli.py` and uses Python standard library only.

```bash
python3 skills/public-trust-grants/scripts/cli.py search community --type organisation

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint

mdr add thecolab-ai/.skills/public-trust-grants@sha256:10c7a8ccc8d5e981

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.
