Our AI tool monitors funding flows, strategic priorities and grant cycles across 46 major bilateral donors, multilaterals and foundations — updated continuously. We track who's growing, who's cutting, and what thematic priorities are shifting in real time.
Each briefing is filtered by your sector and geography. Humanitarian, food security, climate, health, livelihoods — we map the active funding pools, emerging donor priorities and open grant cycles most relevant to your programmes right now.
A concise donor intelligence report showing the top funding opportunities for your sector and region, with strategic notes on priorities, positioning and timing for each donor. Designed to go straight into a funding conversation or proposal sprint.
Beyond the briefing, we work directly with NGOs and fundraising teams to map donor relationships, review proposal positioning and build outreach strategies tailored to the 2025/26 funding landscape.
Every briefing is built around your organisation's sector and region. No generic reports. No raw data dumps.
Who's funding what in your sector and region right now — with amounts, timelines and thematic priorities.
Clear breakdown of which donors are expanding commitments and which are retreating — so you focus energy in the right places.
Ranked shortlist of the most viable donor targets for your programmes, with notes on open cycles, priorities and approach.
What each priority donor is signalling — language, themes, and framing that resonates with their current priorities.
New funding windows, donor pivots and emerging themes before they appear in the mainstream sector press.
Optional follow-up call to walk through findings and agree a prioritised outreach plan for your team.
Donor Intelligence is for organisations navigating the 2025/26 funding shift — not for those who can wait it out.
A one-page donor intelligence report covering the top funding opportunities for your sector and region. It includes a snapshot of active donor priorities, a ranked shortlist of viable targets, notes on positioning, and a summary of the biggest shifts in the 2025 funding landscape relevant to your work.
Our primary source is OECD DAC ODA data, supplemented by live tracking of donor strategy documents, press releases, ReliefWeb, DevTracker, IATI and AidData. All figures are cited. The $40.3B decline figure comes from OECD DAC preliminary 2025 ODA data published April 2026.
Nine months of continuous development through 2024/25, building and refining the donor tracking tool and intelligence methodology. The briefing product has been running with NGO partners since early 2025.
Yes. Submit your details and sector/region below and we'll send a sample report within 48 hours. No commitment, no invoice. If it's useful, we can talk about a tailored briefing for your organisation.
Paid engagements range from a single tailored briefing to ongoing donor monitoring and advisory support. We work with NGOs, UN agency funding teams and independent consultants. Get in touch to discuss what makes sense for your situation.
The donor intelligence briefing is designed to feed into a proposal or funding conversation — not replace your proposal team. However, we do offer light advisory support on positioning and framing once you've identified your target donors.
Donor Intelligence wasn't built by a development finance institution. It was built by an AI developer with a background in international development — someone who watched NGOs scramble to re-map their donor landscape after 2025's funding cliff and realised the tools available weren't fit for the moment.
Nine months of continuous development through 2024/25. Forty-six donors tracked. Data sourced from OECD DAC, IATI, ReliefWeb, DevTracker and primary donor strategy documents — and cross-checked, not just scraped.
The organisations that adapt fastest will be the ones who know exactly where the money moved — not just where it used to be.
The same architecture that powers intelligence tools in other sectors now runs on international development funding data. The goal is simple: give NGOs the donor intelligence that used to require a team of analysts, in a format they can use before the next proposal deadline.
Tell us your sector and region and we'll send a sample donor intelligence briefing within 48 hours.
We'll respond personally. Your details are never shared or sold.
