ESP: Beyond Grants | Ethereum Foundation Blog
Since transitioning into the Ecosystem Support Program from EF Grants, we've talked about defining "support" more comprehensively, thinking beyond simple grant funding. But what does a more comprehensive definition of support actually mean?
In practice, it means something different for every project, and it starts with a conversation. ESP was conceived to make a wide range of EF's resources more accessible to the community, which starts with making our process accessible to anyone who might need support. We take the time to think critically about every inquiry, understand the project and explore ways we might be able to help. Of course we can't fund every project, but often we can do something, even if it's recommending additional resources to investigate such as incubators or other funding sources
