# Wayfinder Connector

Connect Claude to **Frametric Wayfinder** — the charity and nonprofit intelligence platform covering 2 million+ organisations across six countries.

## Supported Countries

| Country | Status | Organisations |

## What it does

This plugin gives Claude direct access to Wayfinder's data through six tools:

- **charity_search** — Search charities and nonprofits by name, number, website domain, or postcode/zip. Supports fuzzy matching, batch exact-matching, and charity number lookups.
- **charity_profile** — Get full profiles including trustees, activities, and classification
- **charity_financials** — Pull multi-year income and expenditure history
- **charity_browse** — Paginated browsing of national charity datasets
- **charity_classifications** — Areas of activity, beneficiary groups, and operating methods
- **charity_benchmarks** — Compare a charity against similar organisations in its sector

Plus a **charity-research skill** that teaches Claude best practices for charity research, CRM enrichment, grantmaker identification, and financial analysis.

## What's new in v0.4.0

- **Website/domain search** — Match charities by their website domain, ideal for CRM enrichment workflows
- **Fuzzy name matching** — Partial and abbreviated names now return results (e.g. "Naomi House" matches "Naomi House & Jacksplace", "SSAFA" matches the full registered name)
- **Charity number search** — Search directly by charity registration number
- **Match confidence scores** — API returns confidence scores for search results, enabling automated enrichment pipelines
- **Improved US coverage** — 1.8M+ IRS-registered nonprofits now searchable

See the [CHANGELOG](CHANGELOG.md) for full details.
