How it works

A free, shared database for better connections.

The FindNFund Smart Search makes it possible for funds and social initiatives to connect in one transparent, searchable database — where both funders and finders manage their own profiles to keep information accurate and up to date.

Free and easy to use

Register your fund for free and manage its profile yourself. Add colleagues to keep information up to date and easy to hand over.

Help Finders find the right match

Your profile helps build a complete, up-to-date, and free funding database used by thousands of social initiatives. By sharing your goals and criteria, you make it easier for initiatives to find the right fund.

Communicate how applicants can apply

Use your fund profile to show how you accept applications — through your website, email, FindNFund Smart Application, by invitation only or temporarily closed. Clear communication helps applicants focus on the right opportunities and makes funding more accessible for everyone.

Discover initiatives and projects

Social initiatives create profiles to share their goals, activities, and funding needs. Explore the Finder and Project database to find organizations that fit your fund's mission.

Example of search results for initiatives and projects

Invite for application

On each Finder or project profile, you'll find the “Invite for application” button. Use it to personally invite initiatives to apply and include a short message explaining how to submit their application.

Why register

Because every great idea deserves a fair chance.

Whether you're already familiar with the world of funds or just getting started, everyone deserves access to the smartest technology to find funding that helps their initiative grow. Because funds manage their own profiles, the data is accurate and up to date. This makes searching not only easier but also more effective: social initiatives find the right match faster, and funds receive fewer irrelevant applications. The result? More time and energy for what truly matters: creating impact.

Free for Dutch ANBI Foundations

Easily comply with ANBI publication obligations

ANBIs are required to make certain information public. This can be done through their own website, but also through a shared website like FindNFund. With your FindNFund profile, you can easily comply with the publication requirement: your profile has its own URL and contains fields for all mandatory information, as prescribed by the Dutch Tax and Customs Administration. You can also upload and publish documents, so everything is clearly visible and available in one place.
