The Gitcoin round will provide the community with an opportunity to decide which advocacy nonprofits should receive additional funding for their work.<\/p>\n<p class=\"chakra-text css-gi02ar\">We encourage everyone to participate in the Gitcoin round (they will announce more details soon), and to help educate governments on the potential of what we\u2019re building together, so we can create a regulatory environment that enables our community to do as much good as possible.<\/p>\n<p class=\"chakra-text css-gi02ar\">Stay tuned for more on support for educational initiatives including news from our <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"chakra-link css-vezwxf\" href=\"https:\/\/fellowship.ethereum.foundation\/\">Fellows<\/a>, updates on <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"chakra-link css-vezwxf\" href=\"https:\/\/ethereum.org\">community resources<\/a> and more.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.ethereum.org\/en\/2021\/11\/16\/advocacy-grants\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Ethereum Foundation is allocating 1 million USD in grant funding to organizations that educate governments and policymakers about Ethereum and blockchain technology.
