Grantspan helps African NGOs, nonprofits, CBOs, foundations, churches and social-impact organisations discover relevant grants, donations, awards, prizes and capacity development opportunities from around the world.
We help you find, track, and explore funding opportunities that align with your organisation's mission and programmes. Our platform also provides access to practical fundraising resources, tools, techniques, and funding intelligence to support organisations in developing sustainable funding strategies and achieving their goals.
Find Funding. Build Sustainability. Create Impact.
Whether you are looking for NGO grants in Africa, nonprofit funding, CBO grants, foundation funding, or international development opportunities, Grantspan helps you spend less time searching and more time creating impact.
Grantspan is an Africa-focused funding intelligence platform connecting NGOs, nonprofits, CBOs and social-impact organisations with relevant grants, donations, awards and capacity development opportunities from around the world.
Grantspan's mandate is to continuously provide our subscribers informed with up-to-date, relevant, and comprehensive information on funding and capacity development opportunities that can support the growth, sustainability, and impact of African-based organisations and individuals. These include grant calls, donations, awards, prizes, fellowships, partnerships, training opportunities, and other capacity development opportunities relevant to their work.
Globally, thousands of philanthropists, charitable foundations, governments, development agencies, and other funding organisations make resources available through grants, donations, awards, and other forms of support to organisations and individuals working to improve communities and advance sustainable development. Grantspan's role is to help bridge this gap between donors and organisations that create impact.
Our Scope
Our goal is to make it easier for African organisations and individuals to find the resources, knowledge, and opportunities they need to grow and create lasting impact.
We research and curate relevant grants, donations, awards, prizes and other funding opportunities for African organisations.
We help African NGOs, nonprofits, CBOs, foundations, churches, and individuals discover opportunities aligned with their programmes, sectors, and organisational goals.
We continuously monitor funding calls and other opportunities, helping our subscribers stay informed about grants, donations, awards, prizes, fellowships, partnerships, and other funding opportunities.
Beyond funding opportunities, we provide access to resources, tools, information, training, and capacity development opportunities that can strengthen organisations and improve their ability to secure and manage funding.
We bridge the information gap between African organisations seeking resources and donors around the world providing support for sustainable development, poverty alleviation, research, innovation, community development, and other social-impact initiatives.
