About the program
Gitcoin Grants rounds use quadratic funding: how many people donate matters more than the size of each donation. A matching pool is then split based on that community signal.
Rounds are organised by theme, such as developer tooling or community projects, and each theme has its own pool.
What they fund
- Open-source developer tooling
- Community and education projects
- Apps that serve the public good
Who can apply
- Projects with a public profile and track record
- Work that fits the round's theme
- Agreement to the round's rules on donations
