It’s a small fund ranging from USD 500 to USD 1000 to help organizations host in-person Open Data events and activities. It supports registered civil society organization events and cannot be used to fund government events. A registered organization can apply once, and for just one category.
The grant payment will be transferred to the successful grantees after their event takes place and once the Open Knowledge Foundation team receives a draft blogpost about the event.
Who can apply?
The small grant application is open to all registered organizations across the world, who are interested in hosting in-person open data events and activities in their country.
An individual cannot apply for this year’s small grant application, and the events cannot be virtual or online.
The application of special grants for the “Ocean data for a thriving planet” category is restricted to organizations and communities living in coastal nations.
