German government, see this thread:

     Application to the Sovereign Tech Fund Projects

     We recently had a meeting in Berlin with the Sovereign Tech Fund 
(STF) to evaluate the pilot round of their open source funding program 
which our community participated in. A big thanks to the people in who 
worked on the projects in our community. Now with the pilot round coming 
to an end soon, we have the chance to apply for further funding with the 
STF. Let’s have a look through our community and identity the projects

I would like to discuss with the GFortran developer community whether 
there is interest to setup a joint project to pay somebody to work on
