Query Charities Services New Zealand public OData for registered charities, organisation metadata, public officer roles, sectors/activity taxonomy, annual-return financials, and grant-making signals.

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

# Charities Services NZ

## Goal

Query the public Charities Services OData service through a deterministic no-login Python CLI. The skill focuses on registered charity discovery, charity record lookup, public officer roles, annual-return financials, activity taxonomy, OData schema inspection, and grant-making spot queries.

## Use this when

- A user asks to find or inspect a New Zealand charity by name, OrganisationId, or CC registration number
- A workflow needs registered/deregistered status, contact fields, addresses, NZBN, Companies Office number, sector/activity/beneficiary IDs, officers, or Charities Register summary URLs
- A task asks for grant-making charities or organisations whose purpose is to give grants and donations
- A task needs latest or historical annual-return financial fields such as `GrantsPaidWithinNZ`, `GrantsPaidOutsideNZ`, `TotalGrossIncome`, `TotalExpenditure`, or `TotalAssets`
- A task needs the Charities Services activity reference table, including grant-making activity codes
- You need to discover OData collections or entity fields before writing a narrow query

## Do not use this for

- Private, suppressed, authenticated, or non-public charity data

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint

mdr add thecolab-ai/.skills/charities-services-nz@sha256:ae5bf86662f383d4

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.
