[RACI-list] Apply for the RIPE NCC Community Projects Fund 31 July

Dear colleagues,

For the fifth year in a row, the RIPE NCC is committing to support 
activities and projects for 'the good of the Internet'. We are pleased 
to invite applications for funding from the RIPE NCC Community Projects 
Fund.

Through the Community Projects Fund, the RIPE NCC distributes up to EUR 
250,000 per year to support projects of value to the operation, 
resilience and sustainability of the Internet, with a focus on tools and 
services benefitting the technical community in the Europe, the Middle 
East and Central Asia.

If you or your organisation are working on a new or existing project 
that fits the criteria below and need some financial support to get it 
off the ground or keep it going, we want to hear from you!

Is your project of benefit to the Internet, particularly the RIPE community?
Is your project non-commercial in nature?
Do you have a clear project plan and timeline?

Some things to keep in mind:

- Funding may be used to purchase equipment, but this cannot be the sole 
expenditure
- Funding cannot be used for humanitarian aid, donations, or to 
encourage political reform
- Funding cannot be used to provide scholarships or cover tuition fees
- Funding cannot be used to support any form of commercial activity

The call for applicants will remain open until 23:59 (UTC), Saturday, 31 
July 2021. You can find more details on the RIPE NCC Community Projects

Best regards,
Gergana
