💸 Request support for your hackathons!

Superteam now supports Solana Foundation Community Grants and recommends applicants with good proof of work in organizing hackathons for cash and/or kind sponsorships. These are grants for teams conducting university and community hackathons in India. Anyone with an idea or proof of work is welcome to apply and receive a funding decision for a $100 - $10,000 grant. The Foundation hands out these grants typically once a month.

🤝 How we partner and support hackathons

• Merch: T-shirts, stickers, and bags for participants or winners of the hackathon, depending on the scale.
• Workshop: Team from Superteam and Solana Foundation working on University Relations will visit in person and take a workshop on getting started in Solana.
• Pizza: If we give a workshop, we will give all attendees free Pizza from the Superteam Pizza Fund!
• Cash sponsorship: Direct USDC cash payment in exchange for a Gold-tier sponsor slot in the hackathon.
• Judging: Top developers from Superteam can attend in person and help with the judging of crypto projects across chains.
• Track Prizes: Multiple awards of up to $500 for top projects (across expertise levels) being built on Solana. Check out Build on Solana @Hackathons.

⚙️ How It Works:

1. Submit the application form (5 minutes).
2. Solana Foundation will usually reply within ~72 hours.
3. If approved, you'll receive an email notification for onboarding and further steps.
4. The amount will be sent (in USDC on any chain) or any other preferred mode of payment soon after.
5. As you complete the amount, submit a post-event review for archiving, feedback, and review.

🤝 Guidelines

1. Be Concise: Being clear and concise is always helpful.
2. Build what the ecosystem needs: Besides our Grant Proposals, we often see people on Twitter (and elsewhere) saying things like "Solana needs X" or "Solana would be better if it had Y.” Use this information!
3. Open Source: Being clear and concise is always helpful. What makes decentralized applications so powerful is that it’s built on the premise of being open and composable. Therefore, this grant support teams that intend to open source soon after deploying on Solana’s Mainnet Beta.
