`au_grants_search`

Pack: grantconnect-au · Endpoint: https://gateway.pipeworx.io/grantconnect-au/mcp

Search awarded Australian Commonwealth government grants from GrantConnect (grants.gov.au) — every grant a federal agency has paid out, with recipient organisation, funding agency, grant program and activity, value in AUD, approval and start/end dates, recipient state and suburb, selection process, and the go_id of the opportunity it was awarded under. Free-text query is matched as a case-insensitive substring across recipient_name, purpose, grant_program and grant_activity. Filter by agency (substring, e.g. “Department of Social Services”), category (e.g. “Social Inclusion”), recipient_state (ACT, NSW, VIC, QLD, SA, WA, TAS, NT), selection_process (e.g. “Open Competitive”, “Demand Driven”), min_value/max_value in AUD, and an awarded_from/awarded_to date range on the publish date. Answers “who received Australian federal grant money for X, how much, and when”. Sort by value or date; newest first by default.
