Grant Announcement for Advocacy Nonprofits

The Ethereum Foundation is allocating $1 million in grants to organizations that educate governments and policymakers on Ethereum and blockchain technology. We encourage others in the Ethereum community to support their important work.

A space to grow and do good things

We know that innovative technologies raise new questions for regulators and governments. But regulators must strike a balance between supporting the growth of new industries while protecting their members from malicious actors and fraud. The Ethereum community can play a positive role in this process by providing information and resources to policymakers and governments.

The good news is that there are more and more amazing organizations taking on this role for our communities. Some of them are focused solely on Ethereum and blockchain, while others understand its potential as a tool for the broader mission of privacy. Transparency, financial inclusion and more.

We support those who support us all

• Electronic Frontier Foundation: Nonprofit leader defending digital privacy, freedom of expression, and innovation
• fight for the future: A grassroots activist group fighting for a future where technology is a force for liberation rather than oppression.

Help us go further

But there are many other organizations that deserve community support. We believe it is important for the broader Ethereum community to have a voice in how funds are allocated to promote education on these important topics.

Therefore, in addition to the above grants, we are also providing grants of $500,000 USD to: Gitcoin matches your pool Upcoming Advocacy Rounds.

Gitcoin’s crowdfunding rounds leverage secondary funding, where individual donations represent community sentiment toward a specific set of grants. During the giving period, grant holders seek funds from the community. The number and total number of donations contributed to the project will affect the total amount allocated from the matching pool. The Gitcoin round will provide the community with an opportunity to decide which advocacy nonprofits should receive additional funding for their work.
