# How to Track Funder Award Patterns with OpenClaw

Analyze what a funder has awarded in the past and match those patterns against your applicant profile. Use `search_grant_history` to pull historical awards and `match_applicant_profile` to check alignment. OpenClaw is best when you want to batch-analyze multiple funders or rerun the same pattern analysis on a schedule.

## Setup

openclaw mcp add toolrouter -- npx -y toolrouter-mcp

## Steps

1. Connect ToolRouter in OpenClaw: openclaw mcp add toolrouter -- npx -y toolrouter-mcp
2. Define the list of funders to analyze and your organization profile with consistent field names.
3. Use `grants-finder` with `search_grant_history` to pull past awards for each funder in batch.
4. Run `match_applicant_profile` against each funder's patterns to generate comparative scores.
5. Review the batch results and rerun only the funders worth deeper investigation.

## Example Prompt

```
Use grants-finder to search the grant history for the Wellcome Trust, UKRI, and Gatsby Foundation in health innovation over the last 3 years. Then match my profile as a mid-size UK nonprofit focused on mental health technology against each funder's award patterns. Keep the schema stable so I can compare all three side by side.
```

## Tips

- Search grant history for multiple funders at once so you can compare which one has the strongest precedent for your type of work.
- Lock the output schema before batching so all funder comparisons share the same structure.
