Hugging Face Community Grants - not so easy

[ianscrivener]

Just researching HF community grants... and they don't seem to be as generous as I had hoped.

MFlux-Commnunity is currently using HF GPU Space (Dockerfile) to to convert models to the MFlux format.

The only available community grant seems to be for people who have a Gradio/Streamlit on HF and want to bump up the GPU - see Community GPU Grants

Grants for research teams and non-profits
We recommend that academic and research institutions upgrade to Team, Enterprise, or Academia Hub for guaranteed storage limits. In some cases, storage grants may be available for high-impact open-source work where a paid plan genuinely cannot cover the need. These are evaluated on a case-by-case basis and require demonstrated community impact (downloads, citations, community adoption, etc.). Contact datasets@huggingface.co or models@huggingface.co with a detailed proposal.

I'll send some emails out and see if we can get lucky...
