  • Part A: Where and how to get funding? There are some guides about funding of open source software projects: - https://opensource.guide/getting-paid/#finding-funding-for-your-project - https://github.com/nayafia/lemonade-stand They can give a general overview for open source funding. They might have value for existing projects that need continous funding as these projects by demonstrating their use (Letters of support, Download/usage statistics, citation count etc), have a better chance of convincing external funders of the value they generate (even if only for the academic community). For funding requests supporting existing projects it might also help to detail what will be improved, what features will be added, and how the maintenance benefits the quality of the project. However, in general it seems easier to obtain funding for new projects, since it seems that 'novel' ideas tend to be of greater interest for public funders. Here, we will list several existing options for funds for software projects in (but not exclusively) academic settings: For quantum projects, https://unitary.fund is a source of small (4000€) grants, that might be easily accessible.
