[Conference-resources] Best wording for travel grant donations on registration.

[Vicky Vergara]

Hi Guido

The one liner I came up with for donations during registration is:

Donate for Travel Grant Program  $[textbox for amount]

>From my inquiries on the conference-resources group
https://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/conference-resources/2023-August/thread.html
We have the text below from Tatiana (FOSS4G 2024), who doesn't speak
English at all.
I know that for us is too late to use it, but to become a part of the
FOSS4G's knowledge base
If someone is so kind as to review it as Luca suggested having it reviewed
by a native speaker.

Thanks
Vicky
