	The Ethereum Foundation is excited to announce its call for Small Grants. Funding Information Funding request comes in under $30,000. Eligible Projects A small grants application might be a good fit if any of the following apply to your project: In early stage: you've started work but are still testing assumptions or working toward a proof of concept. Experimental: you have an idea that's a little �out there� but potentially impactful - and the only way to find out is to try it. Time sensitive: you need a decision within a few weeks. Community event related: sponsorship requests for events focused on Ethereum's technology and community can also be submitted via the small grants pipeline. Eligibility Criteria They are happy to hear from all kinds of contributors who are working within our scope: Individuals, teams or organizations. Newcomers to Ethereum, established projects, past grantees or applicants. Any area of expertise - they work with developers, researchers, academics, designers, educators, communicators, community organizers, and more. Projects at any point in the development process: just an idea, early stages, proof of concept, or with significant progress already made. However, they do not fund past work. Builders of any age, origin, identity or background. Ineligibility Criteria Anything that is not legal within the jurisdiction where the work is taking place. Financial products (trading, investment products, lending, betting, etc). Projects with a planned token launch or public funding round. Art projects or charities that don't fit within our scope. Token or investment focused events. Application Requirements They're flexible in many ways, but they do have some hard rules for the projects they fund: Work funded by ESP grants must benefit Ethereum in a way that aligns with ESP's mission and scope. Any output must be open source or otherwise freely available; for-profit companies are welcome to apply but the specific grant funded work must be non-commercial.
