With a 50,000 XLM matching pool provided by the Stellar Development Foundation (SDF), the Stellar Community Growth round is back to help more grassroots leaders bring Stellar to new communities, one event at a time.

Last round, emerging organizers across the globe ran workshops, meetups, and hackathons that reached hundreds of new supporters, including leaders like Bitswela, who went on to become one of the ecosystem's standout community builders. This round, we're growing that pipeline further, with a bigger focus on regions without an existing Stellar Ambassador Chapter, and a clearer path from "event host" to Stellar Ambassador Chapter Leader.
