Cloudflare Vite Ecosystem Fund pays out its first $301,300
Cloudflare has paid the first $301,300 of its $1 million Vite Ecosystem Fund to 44 projects and maintainers, with monthly stipends for core maintainers.
There is no open application: a panel from Vite, Vitest, Rolldown, Oxc and Vite+ chose the recipients, and Cloudflare plans to pay out more of the fund every quarter.
| Detail | Value |
|---|---|
| Recipients in first round | 44 projects and maintainers, including Rollup, PostCSS, pnpm, Prettier and ESLint |
| Payment route | Cloudflare's Open Collective |
| Recipient categories | Dependencies; ecosystem critical plugins; significant contributors; projects that moved the ecosystem forward |
| Core maintainer stipend | Up to $4,000 per calendar month, invoiced at $50 per hour |
| Work that counts for stipends | Code; documentation; issue triage; community support; upstream dependency work |
