“Hackathon” may be a word you frequently encounter in the web3 community. But what exactly is a hackathon, why are they important to web3, and how can you get involved?

To learn how to donate, visit Grants Explorer Guide. Please note: the option to donate for individual rounds activates once the round goes live, and only stays open for the duration of the round period. In other words, you can only donate in the window of the round, and not outside of it.

We spoke to a multi-decade earth regenerator about his project that ranked #4 in the GR15 Climate Round, and how he collaborated with other grantees to supercharge their mission-aligned projects.

Gitcoin will launch its first-ever Quadratic Funding round on its new grants protocol (currently in testing) in collaboration with UNICEF’s Office of Innovation from December 9 to December 21.

As community builders, Public Goods funders and regen maxis we recognize our impact is fueled by those who believe in and support our work.
