Are you a builder, researcher, academic, student, funder, philanthropist or public official deeply immersed in (or curious about!) the future of public goods funding?
Join us for the 8th Funding the Commons conference
April 13-14th, 2024 at the David Brower Center in Berkeley, California
For this 2-day event, our focus is on two areas of rapid innovation underpinning fundamental infrastructure for navigating the digital-physical commons: AI & the Open Web.
Themes explored will include:
Pioneering experiments in new funding mechanisms for public goods
Platforming successful model methodologies leveraging open source technologies & artificial intelligence with scaling potential
Understanding the role of AI & open source in funding, building & supporting public goods - & as public goods themselves
Frameworks for incubation & methods of support for high-potential innovation
Explorations of feedback loops to optimize impact evaluation
What to Expect
We will iterate on our signature format, bringing together builders, funders, & researchers to spotlight the latest research & innovations in open source technology & AI as applied to digital public goods & funding infrastructure.
Expect a mix of inspirational talks, workshops, networking corners, as well as intimate conversations with thought-leaders.
Speaker Highlights Include:
Brian Behlendorf (Linux Foundation)
Dr. Dawn Song (Berkeley RDI)
Kevin Owocki (Gitcoin)
Al Smith (Tor Project)
Navroop Sahdev (Digital Economist)
Juan Benet (Protocol Labs)
Eugene Leventhal (Metagov)

Our Choice of Venue
Steeped in natural beauty & a history of strong activism, technological innovation, & environmental stewardship, the San Francisco Bay area boasts rich natural, cultural, academic & technological ecosystems.
The Bay Area is uniquely positioned to host productive & catalytic discussions to address pressing challenges for the benefit of humanity & the planet's ecosystems with academics, builders, funders, philanthropists & institutional investors, & much more.
In partnerships with the Berkeley Center for Responsible, Decentralized Intelligence, Funding the Commons will be hosted at the David Brower Center, a LEED certified green model building.
Our Gift to You
Your ticket also grants you access into the inaugural conference of Earth Commons - our sister conference focused on exploring new funding models & mechanisms for climate action. In case you are interested in dropping in, this parallel event is taking place at the same location. More info here.
About Funding the Commons
Funding the Commons was incubated by Protocol Labs (Network Goods) as an independent project & a bridge between builders & researchers to establish new mechanisms for public goods funding leveraging open source technologies.
