Cloudflare distributed the first $301,300 of its $1M Vite Ecosystem Fund to 44 projects and maintainers, with quarterly payouts to follow.
- Funds flow via Open Collective as ecosystem sponsorships plus core-maintainer stipends of up to $4,000/month at $50/hour; VoidZero employees ineligible
- Recipients chosen by a panel from the Vite stack, including e18e, ESLint, Rollup, pnpm, Prettier, Babel, Anthony Fu Fund, Sindre Sorhus and more
- The post argues AI has flooded maintainers with agent-authored PRs, accelerating burnout and feature bloat, making open source funding urgent
