What is funding software?
Funding software makes discovering and assessing funding programmes part of project management - instead of a separate research task on external portals.
The classic route runs through the funders' portals: every level has its own databases, its own search logic and its own update cycles. The results end up in spreadsheets and email attachments - separated from the initiatives they were meant for. Whether a running project fits a programme remains an expert question.
Funding software turns that around: the complete dataset of Germany's federal funding database lives locally in the system, synchronises nightly and is searchable with full-text search and facet filters - right next to projects, portfolios and requests. An AI-assisted check evaluates initiatives against the catalogue and delivers justified candidates instead of keyword lists.
Portal research or integrated funding software?
Both lead to funding programmes. The difference is what becomes of the find - and how often you have to search.
Search, copy, hope
- Several databases with different search logic
- Results end up in spreadsheets and screenshots
- No connection to the concrete initiative
- Research goes stale from the day of the search
- Eligibility remains a gut call
Find, check, apply - in one system
- One dataset, synchronised nightly with the official source
- Every research session is a shareable link
- AI check evaluates the concrete initiative against the catalogue
- Expired programmes remain traceable
- From the programme straight into request and approval
The reference to the official source is preserved throughout: every programme carries a deep link to the official page, and the guideline and the granting body always remain authoritative.
Funding is not a separate topic - it is a property of your projects
A standalone funding tool knows programmes, but not your projects. Yet every funding question begins and ends exactly there - which is why the research belongs in the platform where initiatives are planned, approved and steered.
The question arises in the project
Whether a programme fits is decided by the initiative's budget, timeframe and scope - data your project management already maintains. The funding check uses it directly; a separate tool starts with an empty form.
The find wants to become an application
In separate systems, research ends as a PDF in a folder - and starts over in the next tool. Here, the programme becomes a project request with scoring and an approval flow, without anyone re-entering data.
The commitment changes the portfolio
An approved grant is a new budget situation. Scenarios and portfolio planning run the numbers immediately - instead of the same figure being maintained three times in three systems.
This is not one more feature on a long list - it is the shortest path between two things that belong together: your projects and the money that funds them. One dataset, one permission model, no interface maintenance.
What matters when choosing
Six criteria that separate a serious solution from a PDF collection.
Official data basis
The dataset should come from the source's official export interface and stay current automatically - not from manually maintained lists of unclear vintage.
Search with counters
Full-text search with relevance ranking and filters with result counters per value - so you can see before clicking whether a filter is worth it.
Initiative context
The decisive question isn't “which programmes exist?” but “does one fit this project?”. An AI check with justified matches answers exactly that.
Shareable results
A research session must be shareable as a link - with filters, sort order and the open programme. Screenshots are not collaboration.
Licence and attribution
Using official data requires attribution. A clean solution carries source and data status on every output automatically.
Permissions and operations
Read permissions per role, module switchable, self-hosted capable - funding research belongs in the same governance as the rest of your project landscape.
How WORKSPACE.PM solves it
Funding Radar is not an add-on but part of the portfolio level of WORKSPACE.PM - the same data, the same permissions, one continuous path from the first search term to the portfolio decision.
Who this pays off for
Wherever public money is part of the financing - and research currently happens on the side.
Cloud, managed or self-hosted
Funding Radar runs in every deployment model - the synchronisation only needs network access to the official export interface.
SaaS from the cloud
Ready immediately, dataset and synchronisation run without any effort on your side - you research from day one.
Managed hosting
Your instance, operated to your requirements - with the same automatic synchronisation as in the cloud.
Self-hosted
Full control including the sync operations view: log, progress and manual trigger sit in your administration.
Privacy included: research runs against the local dataset - no query leaves your system.
Frequently asked questions about funding software
Data basis, limits and getting started - answered compactly.
From the official dataset of Germany's federal funding database: around 2,500 currently open programmes from federal, state, EU and municipal level, obtained via the official export interface and synchronised nightly. Source and data status are shown on every output.
No. The funding check delivers a non-binding first assessment with justified candidates. The funding guideline and the granting body's advice remain authoritative - their contact details sit right on each programme.
The data basis is the same - the difference is the context: research as a shareable link next to your projects, an AI check against the concrete initiative, expired programmes remain traceable, and the find turns directly into a project request.
Because the funding question needs project data at both ends: the check evaluates programmes against the budget, timeframe and goals of the concrete initiative, and the match turns into a request, an approval and a budget position. In separate tools, each of these handovers means export, import and duplicate maintenance - in one suite they are clicks within the same dataset, under the same permission model.
Yes. The synchronisation needs network access to the official export interface and can be controlled per installation. The operations view with log and manual trigger sits right in your administration on self-hosted installations.
With the free 30-day trial: open Funding Radar, let the first synchronisation finish and try the funding check on a real initiative. You can book a demo for your specific questions at any time.
