mallow Culture Fund

The mallow Culture Fund supports events, exhibitions and educational programs that strengthen Solana art. The aim is to help organisers create culture in both digital and physical spaces while onboarding new creators and growing local communities.

This section explains how grants work for creators and event organisers.

What the Culture Fund supports​

Grants can support events, workshops and programs that create cultural or educational value in the Solana art ecosystem. Examples include:

  • Exhibitions and gallery shows
  • Artist talks, workshops and demonstrations
  • Intro sessions for creative tools built on Solana
  • Educational programs for students, artists or communities
  • Pop ups and community art gatherings
  • Cross cultural collaborations that highlight Solana art
  • Experiments that bring Solana art into public or physical environments

Every supported initiative should create some form of cultural learning or onboarding by nature.

How the fund grows​

The mallow Culture Fund increases over time through:

  • A percentage of mallow’s validator profit
  • A percentage of mallow marketplace revenue
  • Profits from mallow hosted events such as Jellybean and Gumball sales
  • Contributions from ecosystem partners who want to support Solana art

As the ecosystem grows so does the fund.

Grant sizes​

The current grant tiers are:

  • 300 USDC
  • 600 USDC
  • 900 USDC

Grants are capped at 900 USDC per event.
All grants are paid in USDC on Solana.

If the fund grows significantly in the future the available tiers may be reviewed.

How to apply​

Anyone organising an event or program focused on Solana art can apply.
Applications remain open year round.
