[2026 Update] Grant Amount Clarification
As the ecosystem matures, the original funding tiers, $1,000 for single-category projects and up to $2,000 for comprehensive ones, no longer fully reflect the range of complexity we’re seeing in proposals.
Effective right now, single-category projects (pure technical development or pure user testing) may request up to $2,000 if the scope justifiably requires it. The overall ceiling of $2,000 remains unchanged across all project types. Requests exceeding $1,000 should include a detailed justification: what makes this project structurally more complex than a standard single-category submission, and why the standard budget is insufficient. The committee will evaluate these cases individually.
【2026 补充说明】资助金额调整
随着 生态的发展，原有的"单项目类最高 $1,000、综合类最高 $2,000"分级规则已难以覆盖当前提案的复杂度范围。
即日起，单类项目（纯技术开发或纯用户测试）若有充分理由，亦可申请超过 $1,000，但所有项目类型的总上限仍为 $2,000，不作调整。 超过 $1,000 的申请请提供详细说明：该项目在结构上为何比标准单类项目更为复杂，以及标准预算为何不足以支撑交付。委员会将逐案评估。
