To apply, the project must place a funding.json in their public code repository or at a well-known uri location on their domain: https://dir.floss.fund/submit

That's already 10x more simpler than the 20 page document some of these other orgs have you fill. Looking at you Llama Impact Grants, OpenAI Cybersecurity Grants, NLNet, & OpenTechFund.

Disclaimer: A project I co-develop was granted £3.75k in 2023 back when FOSS United grants were co-sponsored by Zerodha (the same company behind FLOSS/fund). The entire process was over in like 3 days from the date of application.

They probably need more stuff for tax (tax deduction) reasons, after all it can be considered a (deductible) donation.

Zerodha is India's Robinhood.

In India, it's very difficult to get a deductible donation exemption because of how easy it would be to game.
