Spain Grants & Subsidies – Open Calls (BDNS) 💶

Get every public grant and subsidy call in Spain (ayudas y subvenciones) from the official national database, the Base de Datos Nacional de Subvenciones (BDNS): central government, the 17 regions, provincial councils, town councils and other public bodies. Thousands of calls, each with a clear status, the application deadline, the budget, who can apply, the region and province it covers and the official links and documents.

The raw BDNS only gives you a registration date and free text such as "20 business days from the day after the extract is published". This Actor turns that into real dates, tells you whether the call is open, upcoming or closed, and lets you filter the way people actually search.

What can you do with it?

• 🔔 Grant alerts: run it every morning with Published in the last days = 1 and send the new calls to email, Slack or Google Sheets.
• 🧑‍💼 Consultancies and gestorías: find every open grant for SMEs and self-employed (autónomos) in your clients' province.
• 🏛️ Associations and NGOs: list the open calls for non-profits in your region, closing soonest first.
• 📊 Analysis and journalism: budgets by region, topic or administration; EU-funded calls (FEDER, FSE+, FEADER, Recovery Plan).
• 🧩 Apps and websites: clean, structured data with Spanish titles and English field names.

Pricing

You only pay for the calls you get (pay per result). Use the filters and Maximum results to get exactly what you need.

How fresh is the data?

The data is refreshed from the BDNS three times a day and covers every call registered in the last months, including the ones that have already closed. dataUpdatedAt tells you when it was last refreshed.

FAQ

Is this legal? Yes. The BDNS is public open data of the Spanish Government (Intervención General de la Administración del Estado) and may be reused citing the source, which every record includes.

Is the estimated deadline reliable? It assumes the extract is published in the official gazette about 10 days after it is registered in the BDNS. Always confirm the date in the gazette or on the organization's website (applicationPortalUrl) before applying.

Can I get notified of new grants? Yes. Create an Apify schedule that runs every day with Published in the last days = 1 (plus your keywords, region or audience), and connect the results to email, Slack, Google Sheets or a webhook.
