Plinth US Grants Data
A JSON API over the entire US grantmaking universe — about 205,000 grantmaking foundations and 17.9 million grants, read from public IRS Form 990, 990-EZ and 990-PF e-file filings and the IRS Business Master File. The funder-grantee graph traverses in both directions: filter by funder_id for everything a foundation funded, or by recip_id for every funder behind a nonprofit. Offers REST endpoints for grants, organization profiles, an IRS compliance and OFAC screen, an ad-hoc read-only SQL endpoint over a 31-table warehouse, and a hosted OAuth 2.1 MCP connector for AI agents. Entity resolution is free and unmetered. Published by Plinth, trading name of Time to Spare Ltd (UK Companies House 11530023), which also operates plinth.org.uk in the UK.

Kin Score
Markets this provider is in provisional
The Kin Score Market layer reads a provider inside its market: its position, and how deep its integrations go. Depth is only comparable within a position. Provisional and unweighted: not part of the Kin Score or agent readiness.
| Market | Position | Depth | Registered MCP server | Declares compatibility |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Nonprofit and Fundraising | undeclared | - | - | - |
| Government and Open Data | undeclared | - | - | - |
Registered MCP server and declares compatibility are report only — not weighted. Undeclared means we found nothing we can read, so there is no number: we never infer integrations.
