How the matching works
PatronAtlas asks Claude to compare your charity description against around 1,500 publicly-visible Australian PAFs and PuAFs and rank them by overlap of cause, region, and giving history.
- 1
Your description goes to Claude with the ACNC dataset attached as context. We don't store your description unless you save it.
- 2
Claude reads the cached fund summaries we keep on file: ACNC charity profile, recent giving statements, director information, and the most recent annual report we could find.
- 3
Each fund is scored on three things. Cause fit (does the fund give to work like yours), region fit (does the fund give in your geography), and ask fit (does the fund give cheques in your range).
- 4
The top ten come back ranked, with reasoning and source citations. You read them, decide which to approach, and contact the fund directly.
ACNC bulk data refreshes weekly. PatronAtlas re-pulls every Monday morning. Every fund's "last verified" timestamp shows on the result card.
What this tool is, and isn't
What it is
- A faster way to identify which Australian PAFs and PuAFs might give to work like yours, based on what they've publicly said about their giving.
- A way to skip the boring loop of "Google the fund, read the website, check ACNC, write the intro paragraph". The AI does that part.
- A starting point. The relationship work, the application, and the actual ask are still on you.
What it isn't
- It isn't PafGUIDE. PafGUIDE has every fund, including the half that don't show on ACNC. PatronAtlas has the public half. About 1,500 funds.
- It isn't a guarantee. The AI gets it wrong sometimes, especially when funds publish nothing about their giving. Every recommendation has a source link so you can sanity-check before you send.
- It isn't an introduction service. We don't broker. We don't take referral fees. We don't tell funds you exist. You contact them directly using public contact details.
No broker shortcuts. All matching runs against four public Australian registers (ACNC, ABR, ASIC, ATO DGR list). Nothing scraped from competitor databases. Every claim cites its public source.
