The Human Rights Foundation allocated $325K from its Bitcoin Development Fund to support eight Bitcoin projects as part of its Q3 2022 donations. The non-profit firm previously granted 5 BTC to over 30 developers in April 2022.
HRF's latest donation aims to improve open-source exchanges, Bitcoin core development, and crypto media coverage, among others.
The complete list of recipients is as follows:
- HRF granted $100K to BTCPay, a self-hosted open source crypto payment processor that boasts censorship resistance and high security as its features.
- $50K was sent to Jon Atack, a core developer ranked #10 among Bitcoin Core contributors and is responsible for merging over 600 commits into Bitcoin Core. HRF claims the funds will help the developer discover bugs and test fixes on Bitcoin's ecosystem.

- Keith Mukai also received $25K for creating SeedSigner, a DIY Bitcoin signing device.
