Grant Program Overview

The Solana Foundation Funding Program aims to connect builders, creators, and founders to the best source of funding for their work. This may be through the Solana Foundation or other ecosystem sources. The program provides milestone-based grants for public goods, convertible grants for public goods with a commercial component, and supports proposals through Requests for Proposals (RFPs). Projects should make a significant contribution to the Solana ecosystem, especially through open-source efforts, and should benefit the community at large.
