Funding and Grants

Support by monetary means for initiatives that foster FOSS culture in India.

The grants program was initiated with the vision to provide financial support to FOSS projects and events across the country.

If you have a FOSS specific project or initiative and in need of monetary support, you can start a conversation with us at grants@fossunited.org.
We fund FOSS projects by raising funds from the tech industry, either through our Industry Partnership Program or by reaching out to them upon receiving requests from FOSS projects/organizations.

Our grants program also provide financial support to FOSS events. To avail an event grant, write to us with a proposal on the event specifics like goals, target audience, support links and documents etc.
