- Each grant is $100,000 USD for a 12-month project. Progress is reviewed quarterly by the goose team and selected external reviewers, and payouts are made quarterly.
- Each project defines its own deliverables and milestones. The program looks for clear, compelling and ambitious ideas aligned with goose, built with an open-source-first mindset.
- The July 2025 announcement describes four categories (integrations and extensions, tooling and infrastructure, research and innovation, education and documentation), OSI-approved licenses for funded work, a 1 to 2 page project description as the initial proposal, then a technical review and an interview with Block's Open Source team.
