The Document Foundation (TDF) primarily funds work that strengthens LibreOffice and the broader free/open-source office software ecosystem. Its grants tend to support project-specific development, community-building, and practical adoption activities such as events, hackfests, travel for contributors, workshops, and migration support. This is a mission-driven, global funder that appears to prioritize maintainers, community organizers, and technical partners who advance open standards and digital sovereignty.
Small to medium one-off project grants, awarded on an ongoing basis with no fixed deadline; amounts vary based on annual budget and project need, with examples around EUR 600 and no fixed maximum.
Submit a project-specific proposal at any time rather than waiting for a grant cycle; proposals should clearly explain how the work advances LibreOffice or its community, include a realistic budget, and show practical impact such as development, outreach, migration, or contributor support. Organizations doing open-source software, standards, or digital sovereignty work are the strongest fit.
