Ruby Central Inc. is dedicated to fostering a vibrant and collaborative Ruby programming community. To support this mission, Ruby Central Inc. offers grants to small events that aim to facilitate networking among Ruby software developers in a fun and more accessible setting.

Our current and first sponsor, Fastly.com, is happy to contribute to this effort to directly be able to connect with the developers that utilize their systems. Organizers are to use the grant funds over multiple meetup events, along with recognition to the sponsor, to help amplify your meetup events (e.g. food and drinks, decor, parking vouchers, venue rentals, etc). The ONLY caveat to this is there can be no alcohol included in the usage of these funds.

As we grow this program and get more sponsors and donations, we will be able to expand more with these grant opportunities.

Who can apply? Any Ruby meetup local groups! Up to 25 grant applications can receive funding for this period.
How much? up to $300 USD
When will it happen? Now open until December 2024 or until first 25 applicants have been received.
Application Process: Review/approve applications Dec 2024; Begin awarding grants Jan 2025.

We understand that our Ruby Community is filled with amazing people who want to support the growth and sustainability of our beloved Ruby language. We ask that all organizers that apply agree with our own Mission and Values and also stay within our Code of Conduct.

Thank you organizers for all of your hard work and your dedication and support towards the growth and sustainability of the Ruby Community!
