ARDC: Overview and Applying for Grants
summary
Amateur Radio Digital Communications explains grant funding: ARDC gives over $5M so far, sells IPv4 to endow grants, and moves funds quickly — $1.6M to MIT in under four weeks as an example. Eligible projects focus on amateur radio, education, and digital comms; everything funded must be open source required and favor broad social benefit and inclusion. Apply with a one-to-five page proposal, one-year timeline, and a clear budget; funds route through nonprofits or fiscal sponsors and include admin/shipping.
