The FOSS United grants program aims to provide financial support to FOSS creators,
maintainers, projects and events all over India. To date, we have disbursed over INR 3
crores towards Indian FOSS projects and maintainers. All FOSS United grantees are
listed here.
We fund FOSS projects by raising funds from the tech industry, either through our
Industry Partnership Program, individual donations, or by reaching out to companies
that might be interested in co-sponsoring certain projects or organizations.
To read more about the structure of the grants program, evaluation criteria and more, please go through our grants thesis.
If you're a FOSS project or developer in need of financial support, please apply. For any questions, please reach out to us at [email protected].
Project grants are largely “non-thematic”. In the past, we have funded developer tools, consumer apps, non-profit foundations, FOSS mirrors, Open Hardware projects, individual contributors, and even new programming languages!
Our approach towards funding events has evolved to support events that directly benefit the FOSS community. To apply for a FOSS event grant, please send us a detailed proposal at [email protected]
