How these figures are produced

National and regional schemes come from open public databases, refreshed nightly. Local grants are read directly from the official websites of communes and metropolitan bodies, whose addresses the public administration directory publishes: we read their pages, copy the titles and amounts as written, and keep both the source link and the reading date. Nothing is rephrased, so nothing is invented. About sixty authorities are surveyed each night; a full pass over the 7,738 listed takes around four months, then starts again.

What these figures do not say: a recorded grant is not an obtained grant, and an amount published by an authority commits only that authority. We count what is published, not what is paid.

These figures are free to reuse, press included, provided Subventa and the survey date are cited. For a figure on a specific area or a time series, write to us.
