Kindora uses Claude to power AI-driven funder prospecting for small nonprofits
Small nonprofits lack affordable, accurate tools to identify which funders to approach; existing platforms are expensive and return thousands of unfiltered matches that overwhelm small teams with no capacity to evaluate them.

Stage 1 · Nonprofit accesses prospecting via MCP
Kindora's MCP connector lets nonprofits access its prospecting tools directly within Claude.

Outcome
Kindora's AI prospecting eliminated 90% of 3,000 funder matches, narrowing the list to about 75 worth pursuing; applying to all of them landed eight grants totaling $100,000 in the first year. The platform grew to 328 nonprofits with monthly signups roughly doubling, and a separate donor engagement pilot raised $101,000 in a single month.
What failed first
A platform costing $4,000 returned 3,000 funder matches with no meaningful filtering, providing no actionable signal for a small nonprofit.
