Following on from the [Celo PG H2 funding](https://forum.celo.org/t/celopg-h2-2024-budget/8231) approval, Prezenti is pleased to open its ‘Apricot Round’ of Celo grant funding! Different to previous Prezenti funding this is a ‘round’, open to all builders on Celo for a period of time. Prezenti is building a solid track record for delivering grants for the Celo ecosystem, granting over $1M cUSD receiving over 190 applications. Check us out!

**APPLICATIONS ARE NOW OPEN UNTIL 31 AUGUST 2024** 23:59 CET.

First check your eligibility and apply for one of our 3x types of grants:

- **MICRO** : $2,000 cUSD

The Micro Pool is specifically designed to support one-off contributions that significantly enhance the Celo community, offering financial assistance to projects at the very start of their journey or providing retroactive funding to those who have already made notable contributions. From community management and open source code contributions to governance and educational content, this pool aims to nurture a truly global economy and protocol that invests in leapfrog nations and prosperity for all.

- **PILOT** $10,000 cUSD

New projects, yet to build and deploy a feasibility study, pilot, low-fidelity prototype, or MVP. Emphasis here is that this pool has a small ticket size for simply getting something off the ground. Applicants will be expected to deliver something to at least testnet (if technical) of a sufficient quality to potentially continue if the pilot is successful. At this stage, we are not expecting a fully-fledged project. Projects must open-source the code and communicate anything learned along the way. Priority will be given for public goods style projects over commercial enterprises (although the latter is not disqualifying, if it meets the application criteria).

- **GROWTH** $25,000 cUSD

Applications for this pool may be for incremental features for ecosystem mainstays or public goods, as long as all the standard application criteria are met. VC-funded, private, for-profit companies are not disqualified as a hard rule (these companies are often the best placed to deliver complex and high quality solutions) if they are clearly delivering something pivotal to the community.

If you miss this grant round don’t worry, another will be opening later in the year for a chance to apply for a grant to help you grow the Celo ecosystem.
