Our grant opportunities are still open!
Two grant opportunities geared toward building an open and inclusive payments network that puts humanity first are still open at Interledger Foundation.
Building on its mission to build equitable pathways to financial inclusion by advancing open payment standards and enabling individuals, organizations, and communities to seamlessly exchange funds by using the Interledger Protocol (ILP); the ILF seeks to achieve these:

- By enabling Innovative digital financial services through Research and Development.
Both calls for proposals are accepting applications on a rolling basis and will close on Tuesday Nov 21st, 2023 at 11:59 pm EST.
You can connect with the Program Team to ask questions about the opportunity, see details below on how to connect with us.
