Introduction

As part of our commitment to promoting a user-owned internet, The Stacks Open Internet Foundation (aka Stacks Foundation) provides support for developers, designers, community leaders, and more through various types of grants. Grant Types are organized by Funding Streams. Grant Types consist of milestone-driven grants, community-support grants, residencies for subject matter experts, and various other forms of support. While grants funded through our programs are broad in scope, the core mission of the Stacks Foundation is to fund software development and research efforts related to Stacks and Bitcoin. We prioritize funding strong technical projects that add immediate and widespread value to the Stacks ecosystem. Anyone is welcome to submit a project application.

Visit the Grants Process in the Wiki for detailed information on the entire process.
