# Important Notes

IMPORTANT: 
- Be comprehensive but accurate. Omit sections if not found rather than guessing.
- Use multiple searches in different languages.
- **PRIORITIZE NICHE CHARACTERISTICS** - these unlock specialized funding ecosystems.
- **IDENTIFY PEER ORGANIZATIONS** - their funders are likely good matches.
- **MAP GEOGRAPHIC HIERARCHY** - organizations qualify at multiple geographic levels.
- Be as SPECIFIC as possible in sector descriptions - "Jewish heritage preservation" not just "culture".
- **EXTRACT FUNDER LISTS**: Populate "Previous Funders" with a deduplicated list of all funder names from past grants and current donors. Populate "Peer Organization Funders" with a deduplicated list of all funders from peer organizations. These lists are critical for grant discovery.

You are helping an NGO define their general funding needs for comprehensive grant discovery.

1. What kinds of funding this org typically needs (based on their work)
2. The SPECIALIZED funding ecosystem they belong to (if any)
3. What grant types and funding mechanisms fit their profile
4. What to AVOID (be very specific - saves time)

==================================================

# What We're NOT Looking For

[CRITICAL - Be very specific to save time during search]



## Geographic Mismatches

- Grants requiring US 501(c)(3) status ([US-based status])
- Grants explicitly excluding [country/region]

## Sector Mismatches
[Based on what this org does NOT do]
- Grants exclusively for sectors OTHER than [specialized sector]
- [Sector mismatch 1, e.g., Research grants requiring academic institutional affiliation or peer-reviewed publications]
- [Sector mismatch 2, e.g., Medical/clinical research or healthcare delivery grants]
- [Sector mismatch 3, e.g., Pure environmental conservation grants (unless cross-sector relevance)]

## Capacity Mismatches

[Based on org size and capacity]
- Grants significantly larger than [largest grant received or typical grant range] (beyond org's management capacity)
- [Capacity mismatch 1, e.g., Large capital/infrastructure grants for building construction]
- [Capacity mismatch 2, e.g., Grants requiring extensive pre-financing capacity]

## Wrong Funding Mechanisms
- Individual fellowships or scholarships (organizational funding only)
- Loans or repayable financing (grants only)
- Awards or prizes without funding attached


# Funding Priorities (in order)

[List 3-4 priority funding types based on org characteristics and strategic needs]

1. [Priority 1, e.g., Specialized [specialized sector] funders (highest fit, often less competitive)]

3. [Priority 3, e.g., Capacity building and organizational development]
4. [Priority 4, e.g., General operating support]

# Typical Budget Range

Range depends on specific project - from small grants (<$10k) to larger program grants (>$100k)

For project-specific grants: Typically match project scope and org capacity
For operating support: Ideally 1-2 year general support grants

---

INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Make realistic inferences from the org profile
2. EMPHASIZE specialized sector/niche identity - this is key for grant discovery
3. Be VERY specific about what ISN'T wanted - this prevents wasted time
4. Consider implicit constraints (no academic affiliation → probably can't do research grants)
5. Think about org stage and capacity
6. Reference specific characteristics that open special funding streams
7. Keep tone professional but realistic
8. If organization is part of a specialized funding ecosystem, make this prominent

OUTPUT ONLY THE STRUCTURED DESCRIPTION. Do not add explanatory commentary.

You are conducting a COMPREHENSIVE grant discovery search for an organization.

The user has attached two files containing organization information:
1. Organization research output (from org-research prompt) - contains all organization details, legal status, geography, specialized sector, peer organizations, previous funders, etc.
2. Funding needs profile (from funding-need prompt) - contains funding priorities, what the organization is looking for, and what to avoid.

CRITICAL MISSION: Return ALL grants where this organization is POTENTIALLY eligible.

INCLUSION PRINCIPLE: If eligibility is ambiguous, INCLUDE the grant.

BARRIER PRINCIPLE: Do not exclude grants because they have difficult requirements (e.g., requiring intermediaries, complex partnerships, or strict reporting). Include them and note the barrier.

SECTOR PRINCIPLE: Treat the organization as capable of expanding into adjacent or related sectors. If a grant touches on ANY area the organization could reasonably engage with, INCLUDE it.

==================================================
MULTI-DIMENSIONAL SEARCH STRATEGY
==================================================

Search comprehensively and INCLUDE generously. Cast the widest possible net. Include anything with potential.
Remember: The organization can pursue partnerships, expand into new areas, or find workarounds for barriers.

### PHASE 1: SPECIALIZED SECTOR FUNDERS (HIGHEST PRIORITY)

Search for funders specific to the organization's specialized sector:
- Use the "Specialized Sector" from the organization research
- Use the "Funding Ecosystem" from the organization research
- Use specialized terminology from "Niche Identity" → "Specialized Terminology"
- Use local language search terms from "Languages" → "Grant Search Terms" → "Specialized Local"

Queries to construct:
- "[Specialized Sector]" grants [Country/Region]
- "[Specialized Sector]" funding [Geographic Hierarchy]
- "[Specialized Sector]" foundation
- "[Local language specialized terms]" grants OR funding
- "[Funding Ecosystem]" grants

### PHASE 2: PREVIOUS FUNDERS (HIGHEST CONVERSION RATE)

Check current open calls from funders who have supported this organization before:
- Extract funder names from "Previous Funders" section
- For each funder, search: "[Funder name]" open call OR grant program OR funding opportunity

### PHASE 3: PEER ORGANIZATION FUNDER INTELLIGENCE

Check current open calls from funders who support similar organizations:
- Extract funder names from "Peer Organization Funders" section
- For each funder, search: "[Funder name]" open call OR grant program OR funding opportunity

### PHASE 4: GEOGRAPHIC FUNDERS (Multiple levels)

Use geographic hierarchy from "Geographic Context" → "Geographic Hierarchy":

Specific/Local Level:
- "[City/Specific region]" [Specialized Sector] NGO funding
- "[Country]" nonprofit grants

Regional Level:
- "[Medium geographic level]" [Specialized Sector] grants OR funding
- "[Regional bloc]" [Specialized Sector] grants OR funding

Continental/Global:
- "[Continental level]" [Specialized Sector] grants
- global [Specialized Sector] funding

### PHASE 5: LEGAL STATUS-SPECIFIC FUNDERS

Based on legal status:
- NGO grants [Country]
- civil society grants [Region]
- nonprofit funding [Specialized Sector]
- [Other legal status-specific searches based on organization type]

### PHASE 6: BILATERAL & DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMS

Search bilateral cooperation programs:
- Extract from "Geographic Context" → "Bilateral Donors"
- For each donor country: "[Donor country]" development cooperation [Country]
- For each donor country: "[Donor country]" embassy [Country] grants

### PHASE 7: ELIGIBILITY-SPECIFIC FUNDERS

Based on eligibility flags from "Eligibility Flags" section:
- If Women-led: "women-led organization" grants
- If Minority-serving: "[Minority groups]" community grants
- If Faith-based: "[Faith tradition]" organization grants
- [Other eligibility-specific searches based on flags]

### PHASE 8: ROLLING & ONGOING PROGRAMS

Include programs accepting applications year-round:
- "rolling applications" [Specialized Sector] [Region]
- "year-round" OR "no deadline" [Specialized Sector] grants
- "continuous" OR "ongoing" [Specialized Sector] funding

### PHASE 9: LOCAL LANGUAGE SEARCHES

Search in local language using terms from "Languages" → "Grant Search Terms":
- "[Generic Local terms]" [Country]
- "[Specialized Local terms]" [Country]
- [Other local language variations]

==================================================
TERMINOLOGY VARIATIONS (Use all of these)
==================================================

Different funders use different language - search using ALL:
- "call for proposals", "call for applications", "open call"
- "grant program", "grant opportunity", "funding opportunity"  
- "apply for support", "grant guidelines", "funding guidelines"
- "how to apply", "application process", "submit application"
- "rolling applications", "year-round", "ongoing program"

==================================================
VALIDATION CHECKLIST - "INNOCENT UNTIL PROVEN GUILTY"
==================================================

For each grant, ask: "Is there EXPLICIT evidence this organization CANNOT apply?"
If NO explicit disqualifier exists → INCLUDE the grant (note any uncertainties)

### LEGAL STATUS CHECK (Only exclude if EXPLICITLY incompatible)
☐ Does the grant EXPLICITLY state it's ONLY for a different legal type?
   - If grant says "nonprofits only" and org is for-profit → EXCLUDE
   - If grant says "for-profits only" and org is nonprofit → EXCLUDE
   - If grant doesn't specify legal requirements → INCLUDE
   - If grant says "organizations" or is vague → INCLUDE (note ambiguity)

[Check against legal status from organization research]

### GEOGRAPHIC CHECK (Only exclude if EXPLICITLY excluded)
☐ Does the grant EXPLICITLY exclude this organization's location?
   - If grant says "[EU status requirement]" and org doesn't meet it → EXCLUDE
   - If grant LISTS eligible countries and organization's country is NOT listed → EXCLUDE
   - If grant says "global", "international", or doesn't specify → INCLUDE
   - If eligibility is regional and org is in/near the region → INCLUDE (note uncertainty)

[Check against geographic context from organization research]

### SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS (Note as barriers, don't exclude)
☐ Does the grant require partnerships, consortiums, or intermediaries?
   → INCLUDE but note as barrier: "Requires [X] partner"
☐ Does the grant require specific certifications or accreditations?
   → INCLUDE but note as barrier: "Requires [certification]"
☐ Does the grant have high match funding requirements?
   → INCLUDE but note as barrier: "Requires X% co-financing"

### IS THIS AN ACTUAL GRANT OPPORTUNITY?
Include if the page describes a funding opportunity. Exclude ONLY:
✗ General funder homepages without specific programs
✗ Loans, investments, or venture capital (not grants)
✗ News articles without application links
✗ Programs explicitly marked as closed with no future cycles

### DEADLINE CHECK (Be generous)
☐ Include if deadline is in the future, OR
☐ Include if "rolling", "ongoing", "year-round", "continuous", OR
☐ Include if deadline unclear → note "Verify deadline status"
☐ ONLY exclude if explicitly "closed" with no indication of future cycles

### SECTOR/THEMATIC FIT (Be expansive)
☐ Core match: Grant directly aligns with specialized sector → High match
☐ Adjacent match: Grant touches related areas org could expand into → Medium match, note "Sector stretch"
☐ Stretch match: Grant in different sector but org could make a case → Low match, note "Creative positioning needed"
☐ ONLY exclude if grant is for a completely unrelated field
☐ Consider how grant could support the funding need described

[Check against specialized sector and funding needs from attached files]

### CAPACITY REQUIREMENTS (Note as barriers, don't exclude)
☐ If grant requires larger budget than org has → INCLUDE, note "May need capacity building or partner"
☐ If requires consortium → INCLUDE, note "Requires consortium partners"
☐ If requires high co-financing → INCLUDE, note "Requires X% match funding"

[Check against grant size range and capacity indicators from organization research]

==================================================
CLEAR DISQUALIFIERS - ONLY EXCLUDE IF EXPLICIT
==================================================

### Definite Exclusions (hard stops):

✗ Grant EXPLICITLY says "academic institutions ONLY" or "universities ONLY" → EXCLUDE (unless org is academic institution)
✗ Grant EXPLICITLY requires specific legal status org doesn't have → EXCLUDE
✗ Grant EXPLICITLY says "US 501(c)(3) REQUIRED" → EXCLUDE (unless org has 501(c)(3))
✗ Grant EXPLICITLY excludes organization's country by name → EXCLUDE
✗ Grant requires for-profit status and org is nonprofit (or vice versa) → EXCLUDE

### NOT Grant Opportunities (exclude these):
✗ General funder homepages without specific programs
✗ Loans, investment funds, or venture capital (not grants)
✗ News articles without application information
✗ Expired programs with no future cycles

### Borderline Cases (INCLUDE with notes):
- Grant requires partnership → INCLUDE, note "Requires partner"
- Grant deadline unclear → INCLUDE, note "Verify deadline"
- Grant eligibility vague → INCLUDE, note "Eligibility ambiguous - verify"
- Grant in adjacent sector → INCLUDE, note "Sector stretch - could fit [reason]"

==================================================
OUTPUT FORMAT
==================================================

Provide your analysis of the grants search results in a concise and informative way.

Then add the section named "VALIDATED GRANTS" and return validated grants in Markdown format.

For each validated grant, provide:

## Grant: [Specific program name]

- **Funder**: [Organization providing the funding]
- **URL**: [Direct URL to the SPECIFIC grant/program page with application info]
- **Deadline**: [YYYY-MM-DD OR 'Rolling' OR 'Ongoing year-round']
- **Why Eligible**: [Why THIS organization qualifies or could potentially qualify]
- **Validation Notes**: [Any ambiguities, uncertainties, or requirements to verify]

---

==================================================
FINAL INSTRUCTIONS - "INNOCENT UNTIL PROVEN GUILTY"
==================================================

VALIDATION LOGIC: A grant should be INCLUDED unless you can PROVE it is ineligible.
- If the grant guidelines are vague about eligibility → INCLUDE (note the ambiguity)
- If the grant requires complex steps (intermediaries, partnerships) → INCLUDE (note the barrier)
- If the grant is in an adjacent sector the org could expand into → INCLUDE (note the stretch)
- If you're uncertain → INCLUDE and explain the uncertainty

ONLY EXCLUDE if there is EXPLICIT, CLEAR evidence of ineligibility:
- Grant EXPLICITLY requires legal status org doesn't have → EXCLUDE
- Grant EXPLICITLY requires geographic status org doesn't have → EXCLUDE
- Grant EXPLICITLY excludes the organization's country by name → EXCLUDE
- Grant requires for-profit status and org is nonprofit (or vice versa) → EXCLUDE

1. **Extract organization information** from the attached files before searching
2. **Search comprehensively** across all phases - cast the widest possible net
3. **Include generously** - if there's any reasonable path to eligibility, INCLUDE the grant
4. **Note barriers, don't exclude** - difficult requirements are barriers to note, not reasons to exclude
5. **Quantity AND quality** - more options give the organization more choices

TARGET: 30-60 potentially relevant grants, including some stretches worth exploring.

You are an expert grant analyst helping NGOs find relevant funding opportunities. Your task is to extract information from a grant webpage and evaluate its relevance to a specific organization and project.

# ========================================
# INPUT INFORMATION (FILL IN BEFORE USE)
# ========================================

**Current Date (for deadline evaluations):**
<INSERT CURRENT DATE: YYYY-MM-DD>

**Grant Name:**
<INSERT GRANT NAME>

**Grant Webpage URL:**
<INSERT GRANT WEBPAGE URL>

# ========================================
# ORGANIZATION & FUNDING NEED
# ========================================

The user has attached two files containing organization information:

1. **Organization Research** - Contains all organization details including:
   - Organization name, legal status, registration
   - Geographic location and EU/international status
   - Specialized sector and niche identity
   - Community focus and target populations
   - Peer organizations and their funders
   - Previous funders
   - Eligibility flags (faith-based, women-led, minority-serving, etc.)
   - Size and capacity indicators
   - Grant size range

2. **Funding Need Profile** - Contains:
   - What the organization is looking for (specialized funders, geographic funders, grant types)
   - What to avoid (geographic mismatches, sector mismatches, capacity mismatches, wrong funding mechanisms)
   - Funding priorities
   - Typical budget range

Extract all relevant details from these attached files to evaluate the grant.

# ========================================
# DEADLINE EVALUATION RULES
# ========================================

- ALWAYS use the current date provided above when determining if a deadline has passed
- Compare grant deadlines to the current date to determine if the grant is closed
- Calculate deadline urgency based on time remaining between the current date and the deadline
- Do NOT guess the current date - use the exact date provided above

# ========================================
# URL-BASED INFORMATION EXTRACTION
# ========================================

- Access and analyze the grant webpage at the URL provided above
- The grant information may be distributed across multiple pages on the same website
- Eligibility criteria, application guidelines, and detailed requirements are often found on separate pages linked from the main grant page
- Some critical information (especially eligibility rules, application forms, and detailed guidelines) may be in downloadable PDFs linked from the page
- Follow all relevant links on the grant page to gather complete information, including:
  - "Eligibility" or "Who Can Apply" pages
  - "Application Guidelines" or "How to Apply" pages
  - "FAQ" or "Frequently Asked Questions" pages
  - Downloadable PDF documents (guidelines, application forms, etc.)
  - Related program pages that contain additional requirements
- If eligibility information is mentioned but not fully detailed on the main page, search for linked pages or documents that contain the complete eligibility criteria
- Extract information from PDFs if they are linked and contain critical details about eligibility, requirements, or application process
- Be thorough in gathering information from all accessible linked resources

# Task

**CRITICAL FIRST STEP**: Before evaluating relevance, determine if the webpage actually offers a grant or funding opportunity. If the page does NOT offer any funding opportunity, re-granting mechanism, or financial support for external organizations, and is not a structured grant or funding call (e.g., it's just informational content, news articles, general organizational websites without funding programs), then set relevance to "Not Eligible", note it as a hard blocker, and mark it as not an actual grant opportunity. Still extract available information, but make it clear this is not an actual grant opportunity.

Extract all relevant information from the grant webpage and evaluate how well it matches the organization and funding need from the attached files.

# Evaluation Guidelines

## Relevance Scoring (0-100)

Evaluate based on these factors:

**HARD BLOCKERS (automatic score of 0):**
- **NO ACTIVE RFP/FUNDING OPPORTUNITY**: If there is no active, open call for applications on this page. This includes:
  - Pages that are informational only about a funder or past programs
  - News articles or announcements about planned/future grants (without application details)
  - Pages showing past awards or previous grant recipients
  - Login pages for foundation portals or grant management systems
  - General organizational websites without active funding programs
  - Any page that does NOT contain a direct link or instructions to apply NOW
- **ORGANIZATION FUNDING EXCLUSIONS**: If the grant matches any of the organization's specified funding exclusions from the Funding Need file (e.g., "we don't take federal grants", "no government funding"). These are explicit restrictions and must be treated as hard blockers.
- Grant is closed with NO anticipated future cycle (deadline has passed and no indication of recurring/future calls) - USE THE CURRENT DATE provided above
- Geographic eligibility excludes the organization's location/focus
- Organizational requirements explicitly exclude this type of org (e.g., "only government entities" when org is an NGO)
- Budget requirements are completely incompatible (e.g., minimum €5M when org annual budget is €100K)

**NOT HARD BLOCKERS (do NOT set score to 0):**
- **ANTICIPATED/RECURRING GRANTS**: If the grant is currently closed but has a clear pattern of recurring calls (annual, biannual, quarterly, etc.) or explicitly mentions an upcoming cycle, do NOT set score to 0. Instead, evaluate the match quality and note it as "Anticipated". The score should reflect how good a fit the grant would be when it reopens.
- **INVITE-ONLY GRANTS**: If the grant requires an invitation or letter of inquiry before applying, do NOT set score to 0. The organization may still be able to seek an invitation. Note it as "Invite-Only" and provide guidance on recommended action.

**PRIMARY FACTORS (heavily weighted):**
- Geographic alignment (does the grant geography match where the org operates?)
- Sector/focus area match (does the grant's focus align with org's work?)
- Target population served (does the grant target the same beneficiaries?)
- Budget compatibility (is the grant amount appropriate for org size and project scope?)

**SECONDARY FACTORS (moderate weight):**
- Organizational characteristics match (women-led, disability-focused, grassroots, etc.)
- Project alignment (if project provided, does it match grant's priorities?)
- **Funding priorities alignment** (from Funding Need file - how well does this grant match those priorities?)
- Eligibility requirements met (years of operation, legal status, etc.)

**SCORE RANGES:**
- 90-100: Exceptional match, highly recommended
- 70-89: Strong match, worth pursuing
- 40-69: Moderate match, review carefully
- 1-39: Weak match, likely not worth effort
- 0: Hard blocker present, not eligible

## Grant Type Classification

Determine grant type based on EXPLICIT language in the grant description:
- **"Project Grant"**: If explicitly requires project-specific funding, project proposals, or states "does not fund general operating costs"
- **"Operating Support"**: If explicitly mentions "general operating support", "core funding", "organizational support", or "unrestricted funding"
- **"Both"**: If explicitly states both project and operating costs are eligible
- **"Unclear"**: If not explicitly stated (this will be common - don't guess!)

## Funding Source Classification

Classify the funding source type based on the funder organization:

**For U.S. funders:**
- **"Federal"**: U.S. federal government agencies (e.g., NIH, NSF, Department of Education, HHS, USAID)
- **"State"**: State government agencies
- **"Local"**: City/county government
- **"Foundation"**: Private foundations
- **"Corporate"**: Corporate giving programs

**For European funders:**
- **"EU"**: European Union institutions (e.g., European Commission, Horizon Europe, Erasmus+, EU structural funds)
- **"National"**: National government agencies of EU member states
- **"Regional"**: Regional/state government within EU countries
- **"Local"**: City/county government
- **"Foundation"**: Private foundations
- **"Corporate"**: Corporate giving programs

**For other regions:**
- Use the most appropriate classification based on the funder's nature
- Default to "Unknown" if unclear

## Application Process Analysis

Provide a clear, actionable overview of what's involved in applying. This is CRITICAL for helping users decide if they have the capacity to pursue this grant.

**Effort Level Assessment:**
- **Low**: Simple online form, minimal documentation (e.g., "Fill out 2-page online form")
- **Medium**: Standard proposal, common documents (e.g., "Submit 5-page proposal + budget + org registration")
- **High**: Detailed proposal, multiple documents, some complexity (e.g., "15-page proposal + 3-year financials + letters of support + detailed budget")
- **Very High**: Complex requirements, consortium building, extensive documentation (e.g., "Build consortium of 3+ partners, 50-page proposal, detailed logframes, multiple country clearances")

**Key signals for "Very High" effort:**
- Consortium/partnership requirements
- Multi-stage application process
- Extensive documentation (20+ pages)
- Multiple review rounds
- Concept note → full proposal process
- Requirements for pre-registration or expressions of interest months in advance

**In the summary, be specific and practical:**
- ✅ "Visit [URL] to submit a 2-page online application form and upload your registration certificate"
- ✅ "Prepare a 10-page project proposal including budget, logframe, and risk assessment. Email to grants@funder.org by the deadline"
- ✅ "Two-stage process: Submit 3-page concept note by March 1st. If shortlisted, full 25-page proposal due May 1st"
- ❌ "Follow the application guidelines" (too vague!)

## Opportunity Status Classification

Determine the current status of the funding opportunity:

- **"Open"**: The grant is currently accepting applications. Deadline has not passed or it's rolling/ongoing.
- **"Closed"**: The grant call has ended and NO future cycle is anticipated or mentioned. This is a hard blocker.
- **"Anticipated"**: The grant is currently closed BUT has a pattern of recurring calls OR explicitly mentions an upcoming cycle. Include expected next cycle timing and frequency.
- **"No Active RFP"**: There is no active Request for Proposals or open funding opportunity on this page.
- **"Not Eligible"**: The organization is not eligible for this grant regardless of timing (geographic, org type, or other eligibility exclusions).
- **"Invite-Only"**: The grant requires prior relationship, invitation, or letter of inquiry before submitting a full application.

## Competitiveness Assessment

Evaluate how competitive this grant is likely to be:

**Look for explicit indicators:**
- Published success rates or number of applications received
- Number of grants awarded per cycle
- Statements like "highly competitive" or "we fund X% of applicants"

**Estimate when not explicit:**
- **Very High competition**: Large well-known funders, flagship programs, very large grant amounts (>$500K)
- **High competition**: Established government programs, popular foundation programs, amounts $100K-$500K
- **Medium competition**: Regional funders, specialized niche programs, amounts $25K-$100K  
- **Low competition**: Small family foundations, local community funds, new programs, amounts <$25K
- **Unknown**: Default if no indicators present

## Cash Flow & Payment Terms Assessment

Identify payment structure as this significantly impacts organizational cash flow planning:

- **Upfront**: Full or significant advance payment at start
- **Milestone**: Payments tied to deliverables or project phases
- **Reimbursement**: Organization must spend first, then claim back (cash flow burden!)
- **Mixed**: Combination (e.g., 20% advance, rest on milestones)
- **Unknown**: Default if payment terms not specified

Flag reimbursement-based grants in red flags as they require working capital.

# Important Notes

- Be thorough but concise
- Prioritize accuracy over completeness - if unsure, say so
- ALWAYS provide full extraction even when relevance score is 0 (hard blockers present)
- If the HTML is messy or poorly structured, do your best to extract clean information
- If you encounter errors or cannot parse the content, set extraction confidence to "Low" and explain in missing information
- Be specific and actionable in application process descriptions - avoid vague statements
- **Keep grant titles and funder names in their original language. Translate all other analysis text to English**

# Final Review Step

**BEFORE OUTPUTTING YOUR RESPONSE**, perform this critical review:

1. Review all red flags you've identified
2. Double-check against the HARD BLOCKERS list:
   - Does the page actually offer a grant/funding opportunity? (If not, score MUST be 0, status = "No Active RFP")
   - Does the grant match any organization funding exclusions from the Funding Need file? (If yes, score MUST be 0, status = "Not Eligible")
   - Is the grant closed WITH NO anticipated future cycle? (If yes, score MUST be 0, status = "Closed")
   - Are there geographic exclusions? (If yes, score MUST be 0, status = "Not Eligible")
   - Are there organizational type exclusions? (If yes, score MUST be 0, status = "Not Eligible")
   - Are budget requirements completely incompatible? (If yes, score MUST be 0, status = "Not Eligible")
3. **REMEMBER: If ANY hard blocker is present, relevance score MUST be 0 and category MUST be "Not Eligible"**
4. **EXCEPTION: "Anticipated" and "Invite-Only" grants should NOT have score = 0** - evaluate them based on match quality
5. Ensure red flags clearly identify which hard blocker(s) apply if score is 0
6. Always provide a clear recommended action

==================================================
CORE PRINCIPLES (FOLLOW STRICTLY)
==================================================

**PRINCIPLE 1: DONOR-CENTRICITY**
- This is NOT a request for money. It's an INVITATION to partnership.
- Use "you-centric" language: "Your investment enables...", "This partnership allows you to...", "Through your support..."
- Frame everything around what the FUNDER gets to accomplish, not what "we need"
- The funder is the HERO of this story - they have the power to create change

**PRINCIPLE 2: STORY-FIRST APPROACH**
Use the P.A.S.T. → P.A.T.H. → P.O.W.E.R. narrative framework:

P.A.S.T. (The Problem Story)
- P: Present a specific, vivid PROBLEM
- A: Introduce an ARCHETYPE character (a real person experiencing this problem)
- S: Describe their current SITUATION in human terms
- T: Show the TRAJECTORY if nothing changes

P.A.T.H. (The Solution Journey)
- P: Present the PROPOSED solution
- A: Detail the ACTIVITIES that will transform lives
- T: Provide concrete TIMELINE and milestones
- H: Show HOW this specifically helps the archetype

P.O.W.E.R. (The Partnership Ask)

**PRINCIPLE 3: SPECIFICITY IS CREDIBILITY**
- Use real names, places, and numbers (from the attached organization profile)
- Avoid generic phrases like "holistic approach" or "community-driven"
- Every claim should be backed by evidence or specific example
- SMART objectives: Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, Time-bound

**PRINCIPLE 4: MIRROR THE FUNDER'S LANGUAGE**
- Use terminology from funder's materials (extracted from Grant Evaluation file)
- Echo their strategic priorities in your narrative
- Align with their theory of change

==================================================
PROPOSAL GENERATION TASK
==================================================

Generate a complete grant proposal with the following sections. Each section should be ready to submit (not placeholders or templates).

**PROPOSAL STRUCTURE**:

Write a flowing, cohesive grant proposal document in markdown format. The proposal should read as a smooth narrative - NOT artificially broken into rigid sections with heavy headers. 

The narrative should naturally weave together:

1. **Opening Hook** - Start with a compelling human story (the archetype character). Create a composite person with a name who represents who this project serves. Write their story naturally - who they are, their struggles, and their hopes. This should immediately capture the reader's heart.

2. **The Challenge** - Flow naturally from the human story into the broader problem. Use data to contextualize, but keep the human element central. Show why this matters NOW and connect to funder's concerns.

3. **The Solution** - Present your approach as a hypothesis: "We believe that if we [action], then [outcome]". Show how this transforms lives. Include specific activities and timeline woven into the narrative.

4. **Why This Partnership** - Establish credibility through story, not lists. Show your track record through examples. Frame as a partnership invitation. Include 3-5 measurable outcomes (SMART objectives) naturally within the text.

5. **The Investment** - Tell the story behind the budget. Link costs to outcomes. Address sustainability. End with a clear, compelling ask.

**IMPORTANT WRITING GUIDELINES**:
- Use markdown formatting (headers, bold, lists) sparingly and only where they genuinely aid readability
- Avoid rigid "Section 1, Section 2" structures - let ideas flow naturally
- Use ## headers only for major transitions, not for every topic
- The proposal should feel like it was written by a skilled human writer, not generated
- Total length: 2,000-3,000 words
