About this opportunity
FLOSS/fund is an initiative of Indian brokerage Zerodha, with FOSS United Foundation as ecosystem partner, that gives up to US$1M a year to free and open-source projects worldwide. A project can request up to US$100,000 in a year, starting at US$10,000 and then in steps of US$25,000. To apply, maintainers publish a funding.json manifest on their website or repository and submit its URL to the FLOSS/fund directory. An investment committee reviews submissions each quarter. The fund currently focuses on widely used projects rather than very new ones.
