[opensource-wg] [Grants | NGI zero] Open calls for free software, hardware and data activists with a FOSS project

Hello from somewhere in the EU,

There is currently a call for projects to finance them (donations) which 
is open until 1 December 2023. This could be of interest to you or even 
help your friends to finance their work and development.

Project funding available varies from 5,000 to 50,000 euros (with the 
possibility to scale them up if there is proven potential)

Full summary is here: 
https://www.apc.org/en/news/open-calls-free-software-hardware-and-data-activists-foss-project
A consortium of 12 non-profit organisations is involved in managing the 
NGI zero program. https://nlnet.nl/entrust/background/#organisation

2 Tracks:

+ NGI Zero Entrust: Trustworthiness and data sovereignty 
https://nlnet.nl/entrust/guideforapplicants/

+ NGI Zero Core: Moving the internet forward 
https://nlnet.nl/core/guideforapplicants

You don't need to reveal your real name prior to the project being 
granted. Also, young people that have not yet reached the age of legal 
consent in their country of origin on the date of the deadline can also 
apply without any constraints.

If you are based outside the European Union and still have doubts, 
please write to hvale at apc.org

As well as funding from donations, there is specific support (technical, 
safety, accessibility, licensing, etc.) for the projects selected.

Also, if you'd like to talk about it with me, I'd be delighted ;-)

Maybe see you in Brussels, Feb. 2024

Warm regards,
