Two successful Public Goods Large Grants rounds having been completed in the past year with over 600k USDC distributed to Public Goods initiatives.
In Q3 2024 the Public Goods Working Group is launching it's third Large Grants round. Continuing the award amount from last term, this program provides a prize pools of 300k USDC to eligible projects.
This Large Grants opportunity from the Public Goods Working Group awards up to 50k USDC to eligible Ethereum or Web3 Public Goods. Submissions will self-determine an award amount ranging from 12k to 50k USDC. This range allows projects to right-size the grant request for their needs, allows us to select more recipients and provides some intention with the award amounts derived.
This purpose of this grant is to provide a pathway for foundational public goods in the Ethereum or Web3 ecosystems to request more significant funding from the Public Goods working group.
The way we view foundational Public Goods in the context of this grant is that eligible submissions must have exceptional usefulness or an established record of making an impact for users or developers.
There is a total of 300k USDC funding available this term as defined in the working group budget.
Applicants will request a minimum of 12k and up to 50k USDC in the submission form hosted on Questbook.
