The Urbit Foundation provides three different kinds of grants. No matter what kind of grant you're working on, you'll receive lots of support from the Foundation and a helpful, enthusiastic community.
Proposals are for receiving funding for your project — we fund all kinds projects, not strictly technical ones, so don't hesitate to pitch your idea!
Submit a ProposalApprenticeships are practical learning opportunities for new Urbit developers provided by members of the Urbit community. They're one of the best ways to level up your skills, and often lead to full-time jobs.

We believe that grants are more successful when tackled with the support of a community, and community starts with individual relationships.
Proposals are approved and stewarded by past grant workers
Bounties are overseen by those that post them
Apprenticeships are largely about building a relationship between apprentice and mentor
