Solana Foundation Convertible Grants
Rolling milestone-based convertible grants for public goods that have a commercial component; no amount or conversion terms are published.
What you get
Can you apply
Projects that are primarily commercial in nature usually won't qualify for a standard grant from the Solana Foundation, and should consider a convertible grant. Anyone can apply for funding from the Solana Foundation or other sources. That includes individuals, independent teams, governments, nonprofits, companies, universities, and academics.
When
Always open, applications reviewed on a rolling basis.
What Solana Foundation funds
Funds projects that generate public goods for the Solana community and that other ecosystem participants can learn from and build on. Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis and are judged on public-good value, open-sourcing, why the work is only possible on Solana, and a clear milestone-based use of funds.
Everything Solana Foundation funds →Details
The Foundation's second standing funding path: "Milestone-based convertible grants for public goods with a commercial component." Directed at applicants whose work is "primarily commercial in nature" and so would not qualify for a standard grant. Same application form and rolling review as the standard grant. The page publishes neither an amount range nor the conversion terms, so equity treatment is left unknown here.
