Grant programs across
crypto, AI and open source.
Who funds them, what they fund and how to apply.
Funds AI-first projects that use artificial intelligence as the primary engine for progress in science and safety, combining grant funding with office space and compute at hubs in San Francisco and Berlin. Foresight has paused general rolling applications while it moves to focused RFPs. Until those RFPs are published it is not accepting further submissions.
The Chainlink Community Grant Program funded development teams and researchers building a more functional, accessible, and socially impactful smart contract economy. The documented application route now lives under Chainlink's archives path, so public intake is treated as paused until a current apply page is republished.
$12M grantmaking program (funded by Coefficient Giving) for academics and independent researchers on deception, robustness, interpretability, red-teaming, and alignment. FAR.AI is nomination-only pending limited evaluation capacity and has not opened a public RFP.
The Global Innovation Fund is a nonprofit, impact-first investment fund for social innovations improving the lives of underserved and vulnerable people. Its latest published application window closed January 15, 2025; the fund says future calls will be posted after review.
