Community Cultivation Grants

Posted by tom_o_t on July 12, 2011 at 10:32pm

The Drupal Association recently announced the Drupal Community Cultivation Grants - a new program designed to provide financial support to Drupal event organizers.

While full details are available at the link above, I wanted to make sure this group knew about the program - please spread the word to aspiring event organizers. Raising the initial funds can often be a large hurdle - this program aims to lower the barrier of entry for organizers.

The program is also interested in growing and supporting the Drupal community in other creative ways including educating potential community contributors at related events, through code sprints, and other creative ideas.

The first grant cycle ends July 31 - the first accepted grants will be announced at DrupalCon London. A second grant cycle begins August 1 and runs through September 30.

ultimike and I will be doing a Q&A for people interested in applying for a grant in #drupal on IRC on Thursday the 14th of July at 9am Pacific time (midday Eastern time).

Thanks!

Tom,

Thanks so much for posting this in our group and for spreading the word in general. This sounds like a fantastic initiative and I hope that our community can benefit from it.
