Chrome has launched a fund to support the UI ecosystem. We designed this fund to provide grants to people who work on design tools, CSS, and HTML.

All of us who work on the web regularly benefit from the work of people who create specifications, tools, demos, tutorials, and polyfills. Many of these resources are side projects, made available and supported free of charge. They exist because someone saw a need, created something to meet it, then shared it with the rest of the ecosystem.

We want to recognize and help support this work and invest in the CSS ecosystem. We're excited to enable people to spend time on these projects and create more value for the web.

For example, we would be interested in supporting projects that tackle:

* Contributions to Sass, PostCSS, or design tools
* Triage issues on Open UI (great beginner project!)
* Progress in key areas such as: scrolling, form elements, toggle, mobile UI, and layout.

That said, we realize the creativity of our community is beyond compare. If you have an idea we haven't listed here, we want to hear about it too!

Cheers,
Nicole & Sarah
