Apply for Local Meetups LATAM | Round 02

Local Meetups LATAM is a collaborative grant round between **Ethereum Everywhere** and **Localism Fund** to support grassroots Ethereum-empowered local networks across Latin America (LATAM) in hosting **consistent, recurring meetups** over one year following Devconnect 2025. We are inviting proposals for a **one-year series of Ethereum community meetups.** The goal is to help local communities **stay active, connected, and collaborative** after Devconnect, continuing to foster in-person learning, discussions, and community building throughout the year. We’re looking for both **existing and new organizers** who are passionate about sustaining local Ethereum communities. Supported meetups should remain **non-commercial, open, and inclusive**, focusing on Ethereum research, development, education, or ecosystem topics. Successful proposals will demonstrate a **clear plan for consistent meetups**, local community involvement, and long-term sustainability - ideally building a lasting network of contributors and partners beyond Ethereum Foundation support.
