2026 Call for Projects

We’re excited to announce the first ever GraphQL ecosystem Call For Projects! If you are building tools, advocating, or more generally supporting GraphQL, this program is for you.

Our goal is to offer financial support and recognition for individuals who are helping move the ecosystem forward.

Each selected project will receive a $5000 grant as well as highlighting on the GraphQL blog and socials.

The Call for Projects uses the GraphQL grant program. Submissions should meet certain criteria:

• Contributes to a graphql project or another GraphQL property (Youtube, socials, …)
• Be submitted by individuals. Companies are not eligible for funding
• Requires signature of a grant agreement (preview)
• Requires a graphql.org blog post explaining the work

For 2026, we encourage participants to submit projects around the themes below:

• AI
• Golden path
• Security
• Tools for easier full-stack development
• graphql-js production and performance improvements
• Tutorials
• Community

This list is not exhaustive and all submissions will be carefully examined.
