The Gitcoin Grants Program, operated by Gitcoin DAO, is a recurring initiative allowing individuals to support projects they believe in using the Quadratic Funding (QF) distribution mechanism. The program aims to fund and sustain digital public goods by leveraging the collective impact of individual donations. Gitcoin's mission began in 2017 with a focus on supporting open-source software developers and has since expanded to encompass a broader goal of building and sustaining digital public goods.

The program runs quarterly rounds, with the most recent round, GR15, distributing $4.4 million to grantees. In total, across the first 15 grant rounds, $50.82 million has been distributed. During a QF round, community members contribute to the projects they wish to support, and matching partners offer funds to match those contributions. However, the matching is not based on a 1:1 ratio; instead, it is aligned with the community's sentiment and number of contributions, prioritizing the impact of participation rather than the amount raised.

Individuals can regularly check the Grantee Portal or sign up for email updates on Gitcoin to stay informed about the current and upcoming rounds.co website by filling out a form and selecting the "Funding my Project" option.
