Projects must fit into one or more of these four broad categories: - Internet technical improvements that promote and facilitate the expansion, development, and growth of the infrastructure of the Internet consistent with the public interest - Registry processes and technology improvements that help maintain a globally consistent and highly usable Internet Number Registry system - Informational outreach that advances the Internet on topics such as, but not limited to: IPv6 deployment, Internet research, and Internet governance - Research related to ARIN’s mission and operations For 2022, the ARIN Board of Trustees has approved a total expenditure of up to $60,000 (USD) for grants of varying amounts, starting at $1,000 to $20,000 (USD) and based on project need. We encourage all applicants to clearly demonstrate how projects meet eligibility guidelines and selection criteria through the application form to improve chances of selection. ARIN looks forward to funding important projects through the ARIN Community Grant Program in 2022.
