A quick reminder that NLnet has an Open Social Fund specifically for projects that implement ActivityPub. They make grants of 5000 to 50000 euros. Their next proposal deadline is June 1, 2026. The proposal process requires just a few hours of work. It's definitely worth the time to get into this important program!

Photo of a headline and subheading in The New York Times on July 24, 2026: "Trump Administration Admits Canceling Grants to States That Did Not Vote for Him.

On a note related to my last post, this is a nice list of funding-related resources for fediverse developers, curated by @smallcircles.
