FundOSS pilot
In 2021, Gitcoin and Open Source Collective launched a pilot matching campaign based on a novel new matching model that amplifies the voice of the many. Called – Democratic Funding – the matching algorithm raised almost $95,000 for 55 projects.
Fixes and Improvments
After the pilot, the FundOSS team decided to make a variety of fixes and improvements to the platform and funding model before following through with the goal of running quarterly rounds.
While taking a bit longer than anticipated, we’re planning on running quarterly Democratic Funding rounds in 2024.
Of course you can help us along by making a contribution to our platform campaign.
FundOSS reimagined
At the same time we’re looking at the big picture where Democratic Funding rounds are just one way we can help sustain the open source ecosystem and contributors.
