FLOSS/fund
$1 million a year for free and open source projects
No []strings attached
Started in 2024 at Zerodha, FLOSS/fund is dedicated to supporting critical, impactful, and valuable Free/Libre and Open Source projects globally. We give up to $1 million per year to support developers and communities that create and maintain projects, big and small. Read the announcement.
Much of the foundation underlying the modern technology landscape and the internet itself is built on the fruits of labour of individuals and communities in the form of free and open source software. We aim to contribute our tiny bit to this enormous global effort of passion, innovation, and freedom.
