floss.fund/ (by Zerodha in India) is offering $1 million per year grant to open-source projects. But very few applications have been received so far, and it needs help spreading the word.

floss.fundFunding for Free and Open Source projects - FLOSS/fund

@nilesh To apply for the fund, the `funding.json` has to be publicly available in the GitHub source code or on a project website. The file should contain information such as email and account details. IMHO, it's not a good idea to make it publicly available, at least before approval.

@sailmates Zerodha is pretty well known in FOSS circles in India. They also helped start fossunited.org/ which has an active community (5k+ members) where this was shared.

@nilesh nice, i'll add it to our list of associations promoting open source mobile software

@feynudibranch thats valuable information! thank you very much!

@silmathoron @nilesh thanks for notifying, though I have seen it. We already submitted @prav

@nilesh Oof, `funding.json` seems like it assumes there's a project website (most projects don't have one) and for those projects, requires a file checked into the root of repo (messy, not scalable for those with dozens or hundreds of projects)

also `npm fund` already exists for the JS ecosystem and they should be using that format.
