Global ODA fell ~$50 billion in real terms in 2025 — the largest single-year drop in the history of aid. We track where funding is moving so your organisation acts first, not after the call closes.
How it works — the tool scans donor signals, funding shifts and live opportunities, then turns them into short, tailored briefings you can act on.
Live funding signals and donor positioning, cross-checked against primary sources — not scraped from a single database.
Live movement across 46 major donors — who's cutting, who's growing, updated continuously.
What each donor is funding right now — thematic shifts, regional focus, the language they're using.
Every signal is turned into a recommended action, not a data dump left for you to interpret.
Strong fit for humanitarian response, Sub-Saharan Africa — priority theme match plus an open funding cycle.
Bilateral ODA to the region fell 26.3% overall — three donors bucking the trend and actively expanding.
Real-terms ODA change across the donors that matter to your sector and region — growing or cutting, at a glance.
Bilateral donors, multilaterals, UN agencies, IFIs, DFIs and foundations — updated continuously.
See who's expanding commitments and who's retreating, so you focus energy in the right places.
Every figure verified against OECD DAC, IATI and primary donor strategy documents — not just scraped.

The five largest traditional donors — the US, Germany, the UK, France and Japan — all cut in the same year for the first time on record, and the US cut alone (−56.9%) is the deepest single-donor drop ever recorded. At the same time, Gulf state donors kept growing — the UAE +55.5%, Qatar +23.4%. That is not a temporary dip to wait out; it is a structural reshuffle of who funds what. Organisations still anchored to one traditional donor relationship are the most exposed. The ones mapping alternative donors now are the ones still closing commitments in 2026.
New funding windows and donor pivots surfaced before they reach the mainstream sector press.
Opportunities flagged as they emerge — not weeks later once everyone else has seen them.
Deadlines and EOI windows tracked against your sector and region, so nothing slips past.
Notes on how to approach each opportunity while the door is still open.

⚡ Tracked opportunityThis is the actual format of a Donor Intelligence briefing, tailored to your sector and region.
Built around your organisation's sector and region — never a generic report.
Every brief ends with a clear call to action, not a list someone else has to execute.
Optional call to walk through findings and agree a prioritised outreach plan.
Each briefing is filtered by your sector and geography, then delivered as a concise, decision-ready report — with strategic notes on priorities, positioning and timing for each donor.
Request yours free during the 14-day trial and judge the quality yourself before you pay anything.

OECD DAC ODA data (the latest preliminary figures, covering 2025 and published 9 April 2026 — OECD reports on a roughly one-year lag, so this is the most recent full-year data that exists), supplemented by live tracking of donor strategy documents, ReliefWeb, DevTracker, IATI and AidData. All figures are cited and cross-checked.

Nine months of development through 2025/26, followed by live briefings with development sector partners. The tool has been tracking 46 donors continuously — updated as new data, strategy documents and grant cycles are published.
Development and humanitarian organisations of all sizes — INGOs, NGOs, UN agencies, IFIs, DFIs, government partners, consultancies and independent advisors. If donor funding decisions affect your work, it's built for you.
Donor Intelligence was built by a development practitioner with over 20 years of experience across the full aid architecture — bilateral donors, multilateral institutions, UN agencies, International Financial Institutions, Development Finance Institutions, foundations and corporate/CSR programmes.
The organisations that adapt fastest will be the ones who know exactly where the money moved — not just where it used to be.
That experience now runs on AI. The result is a tool that tracks funding flows, strategic priorities and grant cycles across 46 major institutional donors — sourced from OECD DAC, IATI, ReliefWeb, DevTracker and primary donor strategy documents. Cross-checked, not just scraped.
