Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between Devex and DevelopmentAid?
Both platforms aggregate development funding opportunities, but Devex also offers deep donor intelligence, award tracking, competitive analysis, and development news. Devex is more of a comprehensive intelligence and media platform; DevelopmentAid focuses more on aggregating opportunities.
What does Devex Pro include?
Devex Pro offers full access to the funding database, donor profiles, historical award data, competitive intelligence, advanced search and alerts, and priority news content. Pricing is available on the Devex website.
Can NGOs in developing countries afford Devex?
Devex offers discounted pricing for organisations in low and middle income countries. Free registration still provides access to Devex news and some basic opportunity information.
Does Devex cover private foundation grants?
Yes. In addition to bilateral and multilateral donor opportunities, Devex covers major foundation grants from Gates Foundation, Ford Foundation, and other large private development funders.
How is Devex different from just searching USAID.gov directly?
Devex aggregates opportunities from hundreds of donors in one place, adds competitive intelligence and historical award data, and provides analysis of why certain organisations win specific grants - intelligence not available on individual donor websites.
