Shuttleworth Fellowship is probably the best fit of many options. We've
applied twice over the years and not received the fellowship. We should
still apply again.

We have this list: https://wiki.snowdrift.coop/market-research/grants

And I have a list of more to consider and add to that, and would be
happy to see this German thing and other appropriate stuff added. Anyone
interested in helping us decide and pursue such resources is welcome to
do that. It's hard to judge priority because applying and not getting
them does take away from our direct work.

On the topic of funding sources, has this one already been considered or
tried?
