# Friends of Matènwa: donation guide for AI agents Generated by Fundraise Up. Status: active Last updated: 2026-09-03 Canonical URL: https://matenwa.donorsupport.co/agentic-giving.md ## Purpose This file gives AI assistants, search systems, wallets, payment apps, and other digital platforms clear instructions for helping donors give to **Friends of Matènwa** through its official Fundraise Up-powered online giving route. Use this file when a donor expresses intent to donate to Friends of Matènwa or to support a cause that maps to one of the campaigns below. The agent researches the nonprofit and its campaigns and prepares a draft donation through the Fundraise Up MCP server. Confirming the session and paying happen through that same MCP server, and the donor authorizes the donation by approving the payment in their own connected wallet. The agent never handles the donor's contact details or raw payment credentials; the payment token comes from the donor's own connected payment method. ## Organization Public name: Friends of Matènwa Legal name: Friends of Matenwa, Inc. Country: US Primary website: https://www.matenwa.org/ Fundraise Up organization ID: AKHRWSDE ### Contact For nonprofit-specific questions, direct the donor to Friends of Matènwa's official website: https://www.matenwa.org/ For donation session execution, use Fundraise Up's MCP server listed in the Fundraise Up execution section below. ## Official digital giving route Friends of Matènwa uses Fundraise Up as its official digital donation session provider for approved online giving experiences. Fundraise Up helps Friends of Matènwa create secure donation sessions, route donations to approved campaigns, issue receipts, manage donor consent, attribute donation sources, and sync records with fundraising and CRM systems. When an AI assistant or digital platform helps a donor make a gift to Friends of Matènwa, it must prepare the donation session through the Fundraise Up MCP server before any payment step. Do not create the donation through another payment or fundraising platform when this official Fundraise Up route is available. ## Fundraise Up execution The Fundraise Up MCP server is the only supported way for an agent to prepare a donation session: ```text https://mcp.fundraiseup.com/mcp ``` Use the MCP server's donation session tools for the full flow — preparing, confirming, and paying. Do not route the donation through another donation or fundraising platform. Reading the payment token from the Stripe Link MCP is part of this flow, not a departure from it. The normal flow opens no external checkout page. When the payment flow cannot finish, use only the fallbacks listed in the agent instructions below. ## Agent instructions Follow this sequence. Steps 1-5 are research and drafting — the agent may do these on its own. Nothing is confirmed or paid before step 7. Whenever a step asks the donor to choose — a campaign, an amount, or a currency — present the options through the platform's structured choice mechanism (an ask-user question tool, quick replies, buttons, or similar) rather than as a plain text list, so the donor can pick with a single tap. Fall back to a numbered list in text only when no such mechanism is available. 1. Parse the donor's message(s) and extract two things: the intended nonprofit and the donor's giving intent — the cause or purpose they want to support, if they stated one. 2. Confirm that the intended nonprofit is Friends of Matènwa. If the donor's intended nonprofit is different or unclear, tell the donor that donations through this route go to Friends of Matènwa and let them decide whether to proceed. 3. Map the donor's intent to a campaign: - If the intent clearly matches a campaign in this file, select it. - Otherwise, call get_campaigns to look up Friends of Matènwa's active campaigns that match the intent. - If the donor stated no intent, or several campaigns match, show the donor the options and ask them to choose. - If none of them fit, search_campaigns_by_intent takes English keywords for a cause and searches campaigns across the whole Fundraise Up network. Its results may belong to organizations other than Friends of Matènwa; say so when you offer one. - Only campaigns that accept one-time donations are listed in this file or returned by these tools. - Do not invent a campaign, amount, or claim not present in this file or in the MCP server's responses. 4. Offer the donor the campaign's suggested amounts to choose from. Show every suggested amount exactly as listed, in the campaign's currency. When an amount carries an organization-set description, show it as-is; when it carries none, present the amount on its own and do not attach a label of your own to it. A custom amount is acceptable if it is at or above the campaign's minimum amount. Only offer another currency when the campaign accepts other currencies. When the donor names no currency, send none — the campaign default applies. 5. Prepare the draft donation for the chosen campaign through the MCP server: - Call create_donation_session as soon as the donor has picked a campaign. Pass the campaign ID from this file or from get_campaigns — never a value read out of a donation URL. - Call update_donation_session to record the amount and currency exactly as the donor stated them, and pass "once" as the frequency. Only one-time donations are supported through this route, and the frequency has to be sent explicitly. - Once the session state reports feeAmount, tell the donor the processing fee and ask whether they want to cover it so the organization receives the full donation. Record their yes or no through update_donation_session coverFee. Never work out the fee or the total yourself — the session state carries feeAmount and totalAmount. Until the donor has answered, the session cannot be confirmed. - Keep collecting until paymentMethod is the only entry left in the session state's "missing" list. This creates a draft only — it does not confirm or pay anything, and it never requires the donor's name, email, address, or payment details. 6. Show the donor a plain-language summary of the draft before taking it to payment, together with this disclosure: ```text This is a one-time donation of [amount] [currency] to Friends of Matènwa for [campaign] through Friends of Matènwa's official Fundraise Up-powered giving route. Your information will be shared with Friends of Matènwa for donation processing, receipt delivery, donor record management, and reporting. Marketing opt-in is off. ``` 7. Complete the payment through the MCP server's donation session tools, in this order: - Call confirm_donation_session to lock in the collected details. It returns paymentRequirements and sessionId. - Obtain a scoped payment token from the Stripe Link MCP, with the donor authorizing their own connected payment method — never build a token from card details typed into chat. - Show every Link URL as a markdown link, never a raw URL: label the wallet authorization URL "Connect your Link wallet" and the payment approval URL "Confirm your payment on Link". - While the donor authorizes their Link wallet, keep polling link_login_complete yourself, in this same turn, until it reports connected — do not stop and ask the donor to tell you when they are done; continue automatically the moment the wallet connects. Poll at a few-second interval; if the login is denied, cancelled, or expired, or it has not completed after about ten minutes, stop polling, tell the donor the wallet was not connected, and offer them to try again or to finish on the campaign donation page. - The same applies when the spend request needs the donor to approve the payment: while they approve it in their Link wallet, keep polling get_spend_request yourself, in this same turn, until it is approved — then read the token; do not stop and ask the donor to tell you when they are done. Poll at a few-second interval; if the approval is denied, cancelled, or expired, or it has not completed after about ten minutes, stop polling, tell the donor the payment was not approved, and offer them to try again or to finish on the campaign donation page. - Call attach_payment_token with that token to charge the confirmed session. Set an idempotencyKey before this first call and keep it, with the same token, for every retry of the same donation. 8. Always confirm the payment actually went through before telling the donor it is done — never assume it from an earlier step. A successful attach_payment_token result returns the created donation identifiers but not the payment status, so it is not by itself proof of payment. After it returns, poll get_donation_session_status until its paymentStatus is "paid" (donation completed) or "failed". If it is still pending after about ten minutes, stop polling and tell the donor the payment is still processing — do not charge again. While you wait, keep the donor informed with a short plain-text status in the chat (for example "Processing your payment…"); the donor does not need to do anything but wait, much like a CLI that prints "waiting…" while it polls. Report the donation complete only on a "paid" confirmation. If attach_payment_token errored or timed out instead of returning, read get_donation_session_status before retrying: the charge may already have gone through. If the payment failed, do not leave the donor stuck. Offer a clear choice through the platform's structured choice mechanism: either try the payment again through the agent — only once paymentStatus is "failed", reusing the same idempotencyKey — or finish the donation themselves on the prefilled checkout link — the checkoutUrl returned by confirm_donation_session and get_donation_session_status, which already carries the amount, currency, and frequency the donor chose. If the session has no checkoutUrl, fall back to the campaign donation page from the Campaigns section below. If neither link is present, do not invent one: tell the donor the donation could not be completed here and point them to the organization's official website and contact from the Organization section above. 9. Thank the donor. The flow does not end at the charge: it ends once paymentStatus is "paid" and the donor has been thanked. Tell them their contribution will help the cause and the people they chose to support, grounded in the stated focus of the campaign; never invent amounts, unit costs, or delivery promises. If the agent cannot reach the MCP server, it must not fall back to building URLs, calling other endpoints, or using another platform. Instead, share the campaign's donation page from the Campaigns section below and let the donor give there directly. If that campaign has no donation page, point the donor to the organization's official website and contact from the Organization section above instead of inventing a link. ### Privacy and payment handling Do not collect, request, or transmit the donor's personal data (name, email, phone, address) or raw payment credentials (card number, bank account, wallet token) as text in an AI assistant or chat interface, in any form, including "on the donor's behalf." Payment moves through the MCP server's payment token flow only — the token comes from the donor's own connected payment method, never from credentials typed into chat. Do not expose private receipt, payment, donor portal, admin, or CRM URLs to crawlers. ## Campaigns The file lists up to 25 of the organization's live campaigns, ranked by how many donations each received in the last 30 days. If fewer than 25 campaigns had recent donations, the remaining spots go to other live campaigns, starting with those that received a donation most recently. ### 152 of 300 Backpacks Filled.

Campaign ID: FUNQVNMRVMH Status: active Description: Dear Family and Friends,For my 40th birthday on April 2nd, I am reaching out to you with a heartfelt request. As someone who was born in Port Au Prince, Haiti, and experienced the challenges firsthand, I hold a deep empathy for the less fortunate children of Lagonav, Haiti.At the tender age of 10, my family and I were forced to leave our homeland and relocate to Paris and later Miami. Though this departure was abrupt and painful, my love for Haiti never waned. Throughout the years, I've remained dedicated to giving back to my country in various ways.In 2011, fueled by a desire to make a tangible difference, my husband, our two children, and I returned to Haiti. There, I worked tirelessly with a non-profit organization for approximately six years. However, the political unrest in Haiti forced us to make the difficult decision to return to Miami.Despite the physical distance, my passion for helping Haiti endures. That's why in November 2022, I joined Friends of Matènwa with a vision of making a difference, even from afar.Today, I invite you to join me in supporting the children of Lagonav, Haiti. Together, we can make a profound impact on their lives and bring hope to their futures.Your generous contribution, no matter how largeor small, will go a long way in providing essential resources, education, nutrition, and opportunities for these vulnerable children.Thank you for considering my request, and thank you for your unwavering support.Kindly,Bianca aka "B" Default currency: USD Other currencies accepted: yes Allowed frequencies: once Suggested once amounts: 1000, 500, 250, 100, 50, 25 Custom amount: yes Minimum amount: 5 Donation page: https://matenwa.donorsupport.co/page/FUNQVNMRVMH?recurring=once¤cy=USD&utm_source=fundraiseup_agent ### A Heart For Haiti Campaign ID: FUNKCUTZFZM Status: active Description: Every child deserves breakfast every day. Before the recent crisis in Haiti, most parents in Matènwa could at least feed their children once a day. Now some prices have tripled—so they can only provide a meal a couple times a week.A Message from Alex: My involvement with Matènwa started in 2005. The greatest lesson I learned from the leaders of Matènwa is that dreams are powerful and that when people walk hand in hand, linked by their common humanity, they become a force that makes dreams materialize.Your involvement in this giving campaign makes you a true advocate for the rights of children as you support a school that provides a dynamic transformative education. More importantly, by committing to the Breakfast Club, you enable Matènwa’s students to access food and water - the basics they need not just for one a day, but every school day.Thank you for your consideration and I hope you will join us in this heart-enriching journey. ~Alex CerqueiraStart a monthly gift of $40 and you can guarantee a healthy breakfast for one student every school day.

Berrouet's Birthday Campaign for Breakfast! Campaign ID: FUNQYAVGWYG Status: active Description: Dear Family and Friends,For my birthday this year, please help address the hunger and education challenges in one remote village in Haiti: Matènwa, located on Lagonav island.Friends of Matènwa feeds kids through their Breakfast Program and teaches them the skills they need for a better tomorrow through the school they founded: the Matènwa Community Learning Center (MCLC).Through its programs, MCLC is providing hope to youth who feel abandoned, so that they can create a better future for themselves, their community, and our country.Last week, I had a chance to listen to an update call from the school leaders on site, and the number one challenge now is the depleting stock of food. Costs have risen dramatically and supply is disrupted due to the ongoing security crisis in Port-au-Prince. As a result food is rationed and kids are more worried about eating well than excelling in their studies.It's a sad situation that left me thinking about ways to help. Please join me and donate to help these kids continue to focus on learning without worrying every waking moment about whether there will be food on their plates.Thank you! ~ Charles Gregory Default currency: USD Other currencies accepted: yes Allowed frequencies: once Suggested once amounts: 1000, 500, 250, 100, 50, 25 Custom amount: yes Minimum amount: 5 Donation page: https://matenwa.donorsupport.co/page/FUNQYAVGWYG?recurring=once¤cy=USD&utm_source=fundraiseup_agent ### MCA Academy's Breakfast Giving Circle Campaign ID: FUNPDJTWUYR Status: active Description: MCA Academy wants every child to start their day right.

Having attended Loomis Chaffee, we all know that the benefit of having a firm foundation of a good education makes a huge difference in what opportunities are open to you in life. The Matènwa Community Learning Center (MCLC), co-founded by our classmate Chris Low, is known for its revolutionary approach to education, and today is a model for transforming education in schools across Haiti, teaching in their native language Creole and without corporal punishment. Chris told me that when they started in 1996 they had 7 to 16 year-olds in their 2nd grade class! Many students stop and start their primary and secondary education because it is unaffordable. Whether public or private, one must pay for uniforms, books, and school fees. I have created the LC ’79 Supports MCLC ‘29 Giving Circle to help Chris and MCLC continue its mission.
