In order to develop tools for community power, connection, and stewardship as well as to support the goals and requirements of the individuals and communities who use their software, fellowships are a crucial part of the work that their foundation does. Development of currently underway software projects and associated Processing projects (Processing, p5.js, Processing.py, Processing for Android, ml5.js) are examples of projects, as is creative and exploratory work for new iterations.

They welcome applications from candidates of all backgrounds and abilities, and they encourage research, experimentation, and educational projects. More important to them than a fellow's prior technical proficiency are proposals that show a fellow's passion and the development of their practice.
