About the program
The Render Network Foundation earmarks part of its treasury, under governance proposal RNP-003, for grants and bounties that grow the Render Network, a decentralized GPU rendering and compute network. It funds projects large and small in four areas: development, resources, community events and educational material.
A separate artist track funds creative projects that use Render's distributed GPU rendering, from still images to animated films. Grantees get prioritized rendering, one-to-one technical mentorship from the Render 3D team, and promotion on Render's showcase and social channels.
The process starts with a short pitch. If it fits the foundation's goals you are invited to write a full proposal, and the timeline and funding are agreed after the award.
