Local Grant Programs | Round 01

**Local Grant Programs** is the first funding round of the **Localism Fund**, a new grants program supporting **credible local networks and place-based groups** who are building practical models of political, economic, cultural, and ecological localism. Through this round, we’re funding **locally-led grant programs** — not just single projects — that bring Ethereum tools and values into the heart of communities to coordinate resources, governance, and regeneration on the ground. Read the full round guidance and criteria here: [Local Grant Programs | Round 01](https://www.localism.fund/round-01) This round is made possible through matching fund support from Gitcoin, CeloPG, and Ma Earth.
