GetGrant database

Map of grant donors

Only the countries whose grants and grant foundations are already in our database are lit up. This is the real coverage our parsers collect, not a decorative world map.

All donor countries

A country is assigned by the donor, not by where the call is announced: GIZ, DAAD or British Council programmes are counted to their own countries even when the call is for Ukraine.

Another 278 programmes have no donor country: international organisations (UN, World Bank) and consortia without a single home country.

Who funds projects in Ukraine, and what this map actually shows

The map is drawn from the working GetGrant database: 2,085 funding programmes from 655 foundations across 16 countries. A country lights up only when its calls are already inside, with the description, deadline, budget and the link to apply.

Which donors are here

Four large groups. EU-wide programmes: Horizon Europe, Erasmus+, Creative Europe, LIFE, Digital Europe, EU4Health. Governments and national agencies: the US State Department and NED, the German GIZ, DAAD and KfW, the British Council, the Polish PARP and National Science Centre. International organisations and development banks: UN bodies, the World Bank, the EBRD. And private, corporate and family foundations, from large international ones to narrow sector funds.

Ukrainian donors are a group of their own: the Ukrainian Cultural Foundation, the National Research Foundation, the International Renaissance Foundation, the Ukrainian Startup Fund and others. They account for 203 programmes, so funding can be found inside the country as well.

How it differs from a directory

  • A highlighted country means real coverage of the database, not merely a country on the world map. Grey means no calls from there are in the database yet.
  • The country is decided by the donor, not by where the call is announced: GIZ, DAAD or British Council programmes are counted to their own countries even when the call is open for Ukraine.
  • EU-wide programmes are counted at Brussels, because the European Commission runs them rather than a single country. That is why Belgium looks like the largest donor.
  • Colour intensity shows the number of programmes on a logarithmic scale: without it the EU would take the whole contrast and every other country would blur into one shade.
  • The numbers are live: the map is built from the database when the page opens, and the date of the last update sits under the country list.

Why it is convenient

Hovering a country shows how many programmes and funds it has; a click opens its largest funds. The same slice is repeated as a list under the map, so a country can be found from the keyboard or on a phone without having to hit a tiny state with a finger.

In a minute you see what a table hides: where the money is concentrated. The three largest countries hold 84% of all programmes with a known donor country, and the rest is spread across 13 more. Further down the page are the 182 sources our crawlers go through every day, with a filter by region.

Every donor here, and every call they run, is on the platform

The map is not a directory. It is drawn from the working GetGrant database: a country lights up only when calls from its funders are already inside, with the description, deadline, budget and the link to apply.

Our parsers collect calls from funder websites and portals every day, and editors check the doubtful ones. When a new donor appears, its country lights up on the map by itself.

With an account you get the calls themselves: search by research area or project goal, filters by budget, deadline and applicant type, matching against your profile, deadline reminders and saved searches.

The donors we watch every day

These 182 sources are the ones our own crawlers go through daily: funder websites, government portals and grant databases. Their calls land in the GetGrant database, which already holds 655 funds from 16 countries, and we keep adding new sources.

Questions about the map

Where does the data come from?
From the GetGrant grant database: open calls collected from funder websites and grant portals. The map is rebuilt from the live database, so the numbers change as the database grows.
Why are only some countries highlighted?
A country is highlighted only when the database already holds grants or funds from it. Grey countries simply have no calls in the database yet.
Why is Belgium the largest donor?
EU-wide programmes such as Horizon Europe, Erasmus+ or the European Defence Fund are counted at Brussels, because they are run by the European Commission rather than by a single country.
Can Ukrainian organisations apply to these grants?
Most of them, yes. Every call in the database states who may apply: universities, NGOs, businesses, municipalities or individual researchers.
How do I find a specific call?
Search inside the platform: describe your project in plain language and the search returns matching calls, or filter the catalogue by budget, deadline, country and applicant type.
How is the country of a grant decided?
By the donor, not by where the call is announced. GIZ, DAAD or British Council programmes are counted to their own countries even when the call is open for Ukraine.
Which kinds of donors are in the database?
EU-wide programmes such as Horizon Europe and Erasmus+; national agencies such as the US State Department, GIZ, DAAD, KfW, the British Council and PARP; international organisations and development banks such as UN bodies, the World Bank and the EBRD; private, corporate and family foundations; and Ukrainian public and non-governmental funds.
Are Ukrainian funds on the map?
Yes, Ukraine is one of the donor countries. The database holds calls from the Ukrainian Cultural Foundation, the National Research Foundation, the International Renaissance Foundation, the Ukrainian Startup Fund and other Ukrainian donors.
How do I see how many programmes a country has?
Hover the country on the map or pick it in the list under the map: the panel then shows the number of programmes, the number of funds and the largest funds of that country.
