## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability ukintel-uk-uk-funder-giving-history-lookup-5c3f993e
```

Example prompt: Can you pull up the giving history for the National Lottery Heritage Fund — I want to know how many grants they've made, what they typically award, and any recent grants they've given out?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need historical grant-making data for a specific named UK funder — particularly the total volume of grants, typical award sizes, years active, and recent awards. Prefer this over a general company check endpoint when your interest is in a funder's philanthropic or public-sector grant activity rather than their corporate legitimacy. Ideal for grant-seeking organisations doing pre-application research or benchmarking multiple funders.

## Known failure modes

- Funder name not found in 360Giving corpus — returns low confidence or no result
- Ambiguous funder name matching multiple organisations — match quality may be approximate rather than exact
- Funder exists but has no 360Giving open-data submissions — limited or empty giving history
- Misspelled or informal funder name causes lookup failure
- Very new funders with no historical data return empty recent_awards arrays

## How this service works

Pay-per-call UK intelligence for AI agents, as clean JSON. Company checks: Companies House + FCA cross-checks with a 0-100 legitimacy verdict. Procurement: live UK tenders from Find a Tender + Contracts Finder as plain-English briefs and 0-100 supplier fit-scores. Grants: live GOV.UK funding calls matched to a project profile with ELIGIBLE/UNCERTAIN/INELIGIBLE verdicts, plus funder giving-history from the 360Giving open-data corpus. No signup, no API key.

## Output

Returns a JSON object containing the funder's canonical name, the year range of their grant-making activity, total number of grants made, typical award amount in GBP, match quality indicator (e.g. exact), a list of recent awards with date, recipient, amount and licence, and an overall confidence rating (e.g. high).
