The Avalanche Foundation is bringing in the Avalanche Community Grants Program, through which projects and builders can develop within the Avalanche ecosystem. In collaboration with Gitcoin, the Foundation will distribute funds related to the grant in sync with the donations made by the community and encourage crowdfunding in the ecosystem.
The submissions will be accepted on the 26th of March. The participation of previous contributors will be allowed.
Avalanche Community Grants will operate various rounds with separate requirements and money ceilings. Every round will utilize the Gitcoin Grants Stack and quadratic and retroactive funding to maximize the grant program.
As of date, Gitcoin is known to have collected $4.2 million in donations, distributed more than $60 million for funding public goods, and taken on board 312,000 builders. It has backed over 3,000 builder projects via bounties, hackathons, and grant programs. Notable recipients have been 1Inch and Uniswap.
As per the CEO of the Avalanche Foundation, Aytunc Yildzli, associating with Gitcoin will help advance projects through the time-tested incentive framework and enhance the Avalanche ecosystem.

In the words of the Co-Founder of Gitcoin, Kyle Weiss, the association will make it possible for the Avalanche community to control the grant funding and the growth of their ecosystem.
With the help of community grants, the Foundation will offer users in the Avalanche ecosystem the option to donate to projects of their choice. Grantees like public goods software, analytics, education, and other fields will be required to back up the Avalanche ecosystem.
Besides the Avalanche Community Grants Program, Avalanche has initiatives such as the Culture Catalyst, Multiverse, and Avalanche Rush.
The community members of Avalanche can vote on disbursements with greater AVAX matching rewards being directed towards the projects with the maximum community backing.
Gitcoin develops technologies and options that help strengthen communities for funding, development, and safeguarding essentials. Via the Gitcoin Grants Program, more than $60 million has been allocated to developers encouraging public goods activities in DeFi.
