The financials page is where your NGO proves fiscal accountability. This blueprint structures your annual budget, program expense ratio, administrative costs, and charity ratings so AI systems can verify your transparency when donors ask "is this organization trustworthy?" or "how much goes to programs?"

headlinedescriptiondatePublisheddateModifiedauthorpublishernameurllogononprofitStatussameAsCopy this prompt and paste it into Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, or any AI coding tool. It will ask for your business details and generate ready-to-use JSON-LD schema for your page.
You are implementing AIFDS-compliant JSON-LD structured data for a NGO Pricing page. AIFDS (AI-Friendly Data Structure) is a schema framework built on research into which structured data fields AI systems actually read, parse, and use when deciding whether to cite a page. Documentation at aifds.org. Before generating any code, ask me for the following information in a single numbered list. Do not generate schema until I have answered every required field. REQUIRED — do not proceed without these: 1. Company 2. Domain 3. Ein 4. Financials faq answer 5. Financials faq question 6. Financial report title 7. Financial summary 8. Logo 9. Modified date 10. Organization name 11. Publish date 12. Tax status OPTIONAL — ask for these but proceed if I skip them: 1. Any additional details not covered above Once I provide the information, output a complete JSON-LD script block ready to paste into the <head> of my HTML page. Output requirements: - Valid JSON-LD wrapped in <script type="application/ld+json"> tags - schema.org vocabulary only - Every AIFDS-required field for this industry and page type included - Include this data attribute on the script tag: data-aifds="aifds.org NGO Pricing" - No placeholder text — omit missing optional fields rather than fill with examples - After the code block, list any optional fields skipped that would strengthen AI citation
Generated schema follows the AIFDS framework. Fields were selected based on research into AI crawler behavior. View the research at minnesota.ai
