About Grant Garden

Grant Garden is a user-friendly system that simplifies the entire grant process – from call for proposals to disbursement and follow-up. We've created a platform where grant makers can manage their scholarships and grants efficiently, while applicants can easily find and apply for funding.

Our goal is to minimize administrative work so you can focus on your core mission: making a difference.

For Organizations

A straightforward process without complications

Many grant management systems are overcomplicated. Whether you're a foundation, a sports federation, or a municipality, we believe in a different approach: a system that follows your natural workflow, step by step.

Here's how it works:

  1. Create a call for proposals – Define your criteria, required documents, and set an application period. Save time by using previous calls as templates instead of starting from scratch each time.
  2. Receive applications – Applicants fill in your forms directly in the system
  3. Review and evaluate – Work continuously or during a dedicated review period. Invite external reviewers and assign specific applications to the right people
  4. Make and communicate decisions – Use ready-made templates to quickly notify applicants
  5. Manage disbursements – Collect bank details and document payments directly in the system
  6. Follow up – Request reports and keep track of how the grants are being used

Each step is designed to be intuitive, even if you're not technically savvy.

Affordable – the money should go to what matters

Distributing grants or scholarships shouldn't cost a fortune. Your funds should go to those in need, not to expensive systems and licenses. Grant Garden is built for organizations with limited budgets – from small foundations to sports federations and companies with grant programs.

Collaborate securely within your team

Grant Garden has different user roles so you can invite colleagues and external reviewers with the appropriate permission level. As Owner you have full control, Administrators can manage calls and applications, while Reviewers only see the applications assigned to them.

The system shows who created or modified information and when, providing transparency and clarity in your work.

Exposure for your calls

A call for proposals that no one finds helps no one. Grant Garden also functions as a marketplace where applicants can discover grants and scholarships from multiple organizations in one place. This means greater reach for your calls – without extra work on your part.

This benefits all types of grant makers: from cultural foundations and sports federations to municipalities and companies running CSR programs.

Support when you need it

Even the simplest system can sometimes require support. We offer personal support via email and phone, as well as comprehensive documentation that guides you through each feature. You're not alone in the process.

For Applicants

Find the right opportunities, easily

Instead of searching across different websites, on Grant Garden you can see calls for proposals from multiple grant makers in one place. Search for scholarships, research grants, association support, or project funding – whether you're a sports club, cultural organization, researcher, or small business owner.

Filter by field, grant type, or organization to quickly find what suits your needs.

Creating an account and applying for grants is completely free.

Apply without stress

Our application forms are clear and logical. You can:

  • Save as draft and return whenever you want
  • Upload documents directly in the system
  • Submit with one click when you're ready

No complicated registration process, no unnecessary steps.

Follow the entire process

After submitting your application, you can track what happens:

  1. Application submitted – You receive a confirmation
  2. Under review – You see when your application is being processed
  3. Decision made – You're notified whether your application was approved or rejected
  4. Disbursement – Specify how you want to receive the grant or scholarship
  5. Reporting – Easily submit follow-up reports according to the organization's requirements

Transparency and clarity throughout the journey.

About Grant Garden

Grant Garden was developed from a simple insight: organizations that distribute grants need tools that work with them, not against them.

Too often, grant makers are forced to choose between expensive, complex systems or inefficient manual processes with email and spreadsheets. We saw a need for something in between – a system powerful enough to handle the entire grant process, but simple enough that any office can start using it immediately.

Focus on your core mission

Administrative work takes time away from what really matters. Every hour spent sorting emails, compiling applications in Excel, or chasing reminders is an hour not spent on your mission.

Grant Garden automates the administrative work so you can put your energy where it does the most good: identifying and supporting the projects and people who create real change.

Why we do this

Grant Garden was created to support organizations working on issues we care about – humanitarian efforts, animal rights, the environment, education, and social justice.

We saw how much time and money goes to administration instead of the actual work. Money that should go to saving animals gets stuck in license fees. Time that should be spent helping people goes to chasing applications in email inboxes.

Grant Garden is our way of making it easier for you to focus on what actually matters.

Flexible for all types of grant makers

We understand that organizations distributing grants and scholarships often have different circumstances. Whether you are:

  • A foundation with a limited budget
  • A sports federation with many applications to handle
  • A municipality distributing association grants
  • A company with a CSR program
  • A non-profit organization with small teams and many responsibilities

Grant Garden is designed for your reality. The system should be a help, not another challenge to master, regardless of technical competence or organization size.

Security and privacy

As a grant maker, you handle sensitive personal data from associations, researchers, and individuals. Grant Garden is built to comply with GDPR and ensure that all personal data is processed correctly.

All data is stored securely on servers within the EU, and the system provides you with the tools you need to manage consent and inform applicants about how their data is used.
