Base Builder Grant Finder
base-builder-grant-finderReturns a ranked, deadline-aware list of open Base ecosystem funding programs (grants, accelerators, hackathons, retro-funding). Each result cites source_url, deadline, funding_range_usd, and last_verified_at. Stale entries are flagged. Designed for agents and builders shipping on Base who need a single call to surface the next applicable funding deadline.
