Over the past few months, we introduced a few updates to the Grants Program; while these changes helped improve the program, they have been ahead of our full Program Strategy. We reached a point where continuing to make small changes isn’t the best path forward so we want to take a step back and focus on the bigger picture.
To prioritize the completion of a long term program strategy, we will pause the intake of new grants into the Grants Program for a couple of months. Project ideas are always welcome in the ‘Ideas’ subcategory of the Forum, but new proposals will not be reviewed during this pause.
The pause will be effective immediately until end of Q3. Projects currently underway through the Grants Program will not be affected by this pause.
We will communicate the full program strategy and reopen program intake along these clearer lines with more tangible consideration to ecosystem impact, high-quality project work, and technical understanding.
Wishing everyone a productive summer. We eagerly await finalizing and sharing the next steps for the revamped Grants Program.
