Hi All,
We're excited to launch the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team Microgrants programme <https://hotosm.org/updates/2016-12-06_funds_for_community_led_projects_the_2017_hot_microgrants_program> ! Many OSM communities around the world are achieving amazing results on zero or near-zero budgets. HOT wants to support the development of these communities, through providing funding for basics. For example, GPS devices, internet access, and training costs. We're looking to provide up to ten Microgrants between $2,000 - $5,000 USD. Our goal is to enable the development of local OSM communities, to increase skills, capacity and experience. We will award grants to projects which broadly contribute to HOT's mission. More details on the programme and the application form can be found here <https://docs.google.com/document/d/1s9ltOxx_0jkJdQW1uqv9oXoF8cV9ryK8TH87Vv4de4M/edit>. HOT support will be provided before, during and after the grants period. Applications must be received by *12th March 2017*. Please share this to individuals or organisations who might be interested to apply. We are looking to support communities in Southeast Asia, South Asia, Latin America/Caribbean and Africa, but will consider other locations. Get in touch with any questions, or email [email protected].
