Following on from the Celo Seasons 0 funding approval, Prezenti is pleased to open its ‘Almond Round’ of Celo grant funding! Like the Mint round, this round is open to all builders on Celo for a period of time. This round is facilitated using Charmverse. Prezenti has a solid track record for delivering grants in the Celo ecosystem, receiving over 400 applications, and granting $1.4M cUSD to over 84 grants to date. Check us out!
APPLICATIONS WILL BE OPEN FROM 17th March UNTIL 18th April 2025
First check your eligibility and apply for one of our 4x 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.
- SCALE $50,000 cUSD
This will be allocated by the review team to the most promising applicant, and is a discretionary grant
If you miss this grant round don’t worry, we are currently trying to plan for future funding in 2025 for more chances to apply for a grant to help you grow the Celo ecosystem.
