On 3rd December, 2024, Gitcoin took to their X account to announce the introduction of their professional services for grant management. Professional services that include helping leading ecosystems to build, scale and optimize their grants programs very effectively.

Gitcoin, since its launch in 2019, has been at the forefront of decentralized funding. They boast of an unrivaled expertise in on-chain grants with more than $66.5million distributions made across 260 funding rounds with over 3,000 projects, starting from the Gitcoin Grants Program, and scaling to partner programs.

Gitcoin’s track record of helping web 3 ecosystems grow their grants programs precedes them. For instance, Gitcoin’s campaign strategy for Sei saw amazing success. The first campaign consisted of four rounds and distributed $1.3M focusing on the Sei gaming ecosystem and developer relations, and resulted in steadily increasing community participation, round by round.

The team at Gitcoin understands that grant programs are no longer just funding tools, they are also very strategic for the individual growth of the ecosystem. Like Sov, Head of Grants at Gitcoin, said

“Simply distributing funds does not drive impact. A well-designed grants strategy with ongoing review is necessary for a grants program to drive meaningful growth. Leaders must thoughtfully build the systems to attract, support, and retain the right builders to create long-term success.”

The journey over the years has equipped the team at Gitcoin with a deep understanding of the challenges ecosystems face in designing and executing grants programs. Equipped with that knowledge Gitcoin has announced the launch of their Professional Services, designed to help organizations transform their grants into a powerful engine for growth, community engagement, and impact. With a wide range of services, from campaign strategy to custom builds, that is tools and integrations to enhance grant stack and streamline operations.
