Grants within reach.

Nectio connects small nonprofits with foundations offering micro-grants under €5,000. Simple applications. Fast decisions.

Small causes.
Big obstacles.

Hard to find grants under €5,000

Most grant databases prioritize large programs. Small nonprofits spend weeks searching for something that fits their scale.

Application processes built for big organisations

Long forms, heavy documentation, multi-stage reviews — designed for institutions with dedicated grant writers. Not for a small team running on passion.

Foundations want to help but lack the infrastructure

Processing hundreds of small applications is expensive. So small grants stay unmade — even when the money is there.

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.
