OCP Foundation Collaboration Acceleration Fund
The OCP Foundation Collaboration Acceleration Fund is a non-equity, pre-competitive grant program, announced on April 7, 2026, that supports open hardware projects that are underfunded or too complex for one organization to pursue outside the OCP Community. The Foundation provides resource matching of 25% to 50%, technical and programmatic support, and a neutral platform for multi-stakeholder collaboration. Proposals include multiple stakeholders and align with OCP's core tenets, and all funded outcomes must be contributed back to the OCP Community under OCP-approved licenses. The 2026 call listed priority areas including AI data centers and AI infrastructure, data center power and cooling, edge AI systems, and sustainability and supply chain interoperability, and took proposals through a form until May 15, 2026. The program page states that the call for proposals window is now closed; no dollar amounts or next call date are given.
