<p dir="auto">Open Sats Initiative, Inc. (EIN 85-2722249) is a 501(c)(3) public charity which aims to fund Bitcoin-related free and open-source projects and associated education and research initiatives.</p>
<p dir="auto">We want to see contributors to Bitcoin and FOSS (free and open-source) tools supported by a sustainable ecosystem and consistent funding, so we set up a foundation to do just that. Donors can come to the OpenSats website and either recommend gifts to specific project areas or contribute to our <a href="https://opensats.org/projects/general_fund" rel="nofollow ugc">general fund</a>.</p>
<p dir="auto">Grants are distributed periodically by our board. We <a href="https://opensats.org/selection" rel="nofollow ugc">evaluate and assess</a> applications to make sure any grants are awarded to high impact projects in the Bitcoin space. We distribute grants to a wide variety of contributor types (developers, designers, researchers, educators, reviewers, and the like), but only to those working on Bitcoin and open-source projects that will improve public access to Bitcoin infrastructure.</p>
