Grants
The Grindery Grants Program provides funding to empower DAOs in improving their integration with web2 and web3 software to increase productivity, transparency and contribution to a positive web3.
Grants are available to qualified applicants depending on the scope of the project and the positive impact it will have on the DAO ecosystem.
Apply NowWho Should Apply
-
DAOs who have an integration need but don't know yet how to solve it. Will integrating two (or more) pieces of web2 or web3 help run your DAO in a more streamlined, efficient, or transparent way? Let us know your needs and we can get you the assistance or custom development you need!
-
Integrators who have experience with Zapier, IFTTT and other middleware and want to learn about Grindery. If you are part of a DAO that needs integration and you can supply it, but lack funding, we can help!
-
Developers who want to develop a custom w2 or w3 integration for the ecosystem. If you would like to extend workflow capabilities, add another blockchain, or have a DAO in need, our grants can back you!
Process Overview
Any DAO member can apply on behalf of any DAO on any blockchain. That includes individuals, independent teams, nonprofits, companies, universities, and academics.

Criteria for evaluation
We love to see a broad diversity of ideas in grant applications. But, there are a few things we look for in all grantees. When determining whether your project proposal fits the bill for a grant, be sure it meets the following criteria:
-
Product-Market-Fit: Show us that the grant will solve real needs and real problems of one or multiple DAOs. There must be product-market-fit.
-
Ability to Execute: Show us how your team has the skills and potential to bring your proposal to life.
-
Clear Use of Funds: We encourage you to be transparent about how much you’re requesting and present a clear plan for how the funding will help you accomplish your goals.
Applicants will be notified whether their proposal has been accepted or not.
