The Icculus Microgrant


We are currently accepting nominations for open source projects to fund!

Want to nominate your or someone else's project? Reply to the Mastodon Thread, the Twitter thread, the Reddit thread, or the Cohost thread, or just email Ryan. Any projects nominated in any of these places will be considered!

We fund projects all over the world, in their local currency. Small projects, big projects...if you built something interesting, please tell us!


Total money contributed to open source projects so far: 16,300 dollars!

The Icculus Microgrant is a simple funding effort for Open Source and Free Software projects.

Once a year, around the holidays, we put out a call for funding, and take the pool of donations and split it into microgrants for as many projects as possible, currently in $250 chunks.

You can view the details of prior years here:

There is an RSS feed that announces new rounds of funding, so currently it averages two new posts a year. That is available here. If you would like to donate money to the grants, or apply for a grant yourself, please watch this feed for details.
