NEAR Foundation
aka near
NEAR Foundation is a Swiss nonprofit that supports and grows the NEAR Protocol ecosystem. It funds projects through a set of ecosystem programs (Protocol Rewards, DevHub Grants, Potlock community rounds, Meta Pool Grants) rather than a single grants fund, with applications accepted on a rolling basis. Its historic grants program made awards in the $10-100k range across AI, DeFi, and infrastructure, and in 2025 the foundation announced a $20M AI Agent Fund.1,2,3,4
