What are the 4 Grant Categories?
The Prosperity Grants Program has curated four distinct grant categories — Advocates, Educational Programming, Market Implementations, and Open Source Software Tooling. Unified by the overarching themes of access, inclusion, sustainability, and education, each grant category is distinct, featuring its own set of criteria, objectives, and success metrics, all tailored to achieve its intended outcome.
Ideal applicants for the Prosperity Grants Program should be working on projects that fit into at least one of the grant categories:
1. Advocates
Designed for individuals with a strategy and plan to contribute to the GoodDollar ecosystem through a one-time activation, event, workshop, or deliverable. Ideal candidates include researchers, storytellers, creatives, content creators, and community ambassadors. Examples of projects supported by Advocate grants may resemble:
- 1-day workshops
- “How-To” GoodDollar online media series
- Impactful community-based video case study
2. Educational Programming

3. Market Implementations
Whether you’re a mission-driven organization or a pioneering social entrepreneur, market implementation grants provide a broad spectrum of opportunities to bring your GoodDollar integrated initiatives to life. NGOs and community organizations can amplify their existing operations by building on the GoodDollar protocol and integrating G$. Examples of projects supported by organizational Market Implementation grants may resemble:

Individual social entrepreneurs can join as Fellows, experimenting with GoodDollar in their communities and disseminating their findings. Examples of projects supported by individual Market Implementation grants may resemble:
- Analyzing the impact of G$ loans on local communities
- Onboarding local stores to accept G$ as a form of payment
4. Open Source Software Tooling
For the digital architects out there, this category supports individuals and groups who build open source software as a digital public good and contribute to the GoodDollar GitHub. Examples of projects funded by Open Source Software Tooling grants may resemble:
- DAO tooling to enable greater participation and decision-making of GoodDAO members
- E-commerce and payment tooling to simplify the integration of G$ payment technology for developers
