GBA Project Funding Resources

What is the Project Funding Working Group?

The Project Funding Working Group (PFWG) connects GBA members with diverse funding opportunities, providing support and guidance throughout the funding process. We aim to help members identify and secure project financing from various sources such as grants, venture capital, and other funding avenues tailored to their unique needs.

How Does the PFWG Operate?

We work closely with GBA members to assess their specific funding needs—whether it’s grant funding, government contracts, scaleup support, or investment. Our process begins with understanding your goals through our intake form (below), followed by personalized guidance to match you with the best funding sources. We provide the resources, mentorship, and networking opportunities needed to navigate complex funding landscapes and secure the right financial backing for your blockchain projects.
