Similar to InternetFonden in Sweden, run by a foundation around the Austrian .at TLD registry. Funding rounds once per year, max €50k. Focus on development of OSS.

Is it officially restricted to Austria/Germany or is it done unofficially by not providing an English version of the pages? Is it possible to apply with an English-language grant proposal?

https://netidee.at/faq mentions that you have to be located in Austria. AFAIK the projects need some "relation with Austria", which I assume most projects creatively construct somehow in order to pass the selection process (most of the recipients don't seem to be particularly Austria related).

Edit: The FAQ also mentions that it's ok to submit requests in English.

Edit₂:

Einreichen können Privatpersonen, Organisationen (z.B. Vereine, NPOs), Unternehmen und Universitäten/Fachhochschulen mit (Wohn-)Sitz in Österreich.

Eligible are: private citizens, organisations (e.g. clubs, NPOs), companies and universities/colleges which are located in Austria.

Die Einbindung von ausländischen Firmen im Zuge von Auftragsarbeiten ist möglich. Dies ist im Förderantrag im Kostenplan darzustellen.

Involving foreign companies on a contract basis is possible, this needs to be described in the request.

The way I read it, it should be possible to start a Verein (relatively low effort) or small company in order to access the funds even from abroad, but it would definitely help to have someone involved who lives in Austria.
