Nectio connects small nonprofits with foundations offering micro-grants under €5,000. Simple applications. Fast decisions.
Most grant databases prioritize large programs. Small nonprofits spend weeks searching for something that fits their scale.
Long forms, heavy documentation, multi-stage reviews — designed for institutions with dedicated grant writers. Not for a small team running on passion.
Processing hundreds of small applications is expensive. So small grants stay unmade — even when the money is there.
Built for micro-grants specifically — not a side product for big programs.
Not a 40-page proposal — a focused form that respects your time.
Foundations can trust the applicants — every org is reviewed before listing.
72-hour response time target for small grants — no months of waiting.
No application fee, no subscription — complete access with zero cost to apply.
Starting in Belgium, expanding EU-wide — built for the whole of Europe from day one.
One profile for every grant on Nectio. Mission, focus areas, budget needs — takes 5 minutes.
Nectio surfaces foundations that actively fund work like yours — no more cold searching.
Pre-filled applications matched to your profile. One click to submit to the right funder.
Set your micro-grant range, focus areas, and geography. Takes 10 minutes.
Only nonprofits that match your criteria reach your dashboard — no noise.
Review, approve, and transfer directly — backed by Nectio's vetting infrastructure.
Micro-grants let foundations make real impact at community scale — without the overhead of processing million-euro proposals. Discover vetted projects, diversify your portfolio, and deploy capital where it matters most.
Nectio exists because the best ideas in Europe shouldn't die waiting for funding that fits.
Inspired from 'nectere' — Latin for "to connect," "to bind together."
Nectio exists to create those connections: linking the nonprofits doing essential work with the foundations ready to fund it.
