In 2008, the AEGN conducted research into who is making environmental grants, how much and to what issues under these subheadings:
- General/Multi Issue
- Terrestrial Ecosystems & Land Use
- Freshwater & Inland Water Ecosystems
- Coastal & Marine Ecosystems
- Biodiversity & Species Preservation
- Sustainable Agriculture & Food Systems
- Climate & Atmosphere
- Energy
- Toxics
- Material Consumption & Waste Management
- Transportation
- Sustainable Cities & Communities
- International Trade & Finance
The survey was repeated in 2010 and the results of both surveys can be downloaded below.

Similar networks in other countries have completed studies that analyse where green grants go, such as:
- United Kingdom
The Environmental Funders Network produced Where the Green Grants Went: Patterns of UK Funding for environmental and Conservation Work
- United States
The Environmental Grantmakers Association
produced Tracking the Field: A rough guide 2007. Please contact the AEGN office if you would like a copy of this document.
- Canada
The Canadian Environmental Grantmakers Network has a major database of all environment projects funded in Canada. Members can search this database but it is not open to the general public.
