<p class="MsoNormal"><span>Hello,</span><span lang="EN-CA"><u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-CA"><u></u> <u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-CA">I am organizing the next GeoHab conference in Key West, USA, in May 2025 (</span><a href="https://geohab.org/keywest2025/" target="_blank"><span lang="EN-CA">https://geohab.org/keywest2025/</span></a><span lang="EN-CA">). GeoHab is an
 international scientific community made of members from academia, government agencies, and the private industry that focuses on marine habitat and seafloor mapping using GIS and geospatial technologies. I am writing to ask if OSGeo can sponsor the conference.
 Sponsorship can go directly to student travel awards and carbon offsetting for the conference, for example. Since GeoHab is a not-for-profit organization, your sponsorship would count as a charitable donation.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-CA"><u></u> <u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-CA">I remain available if you’d like to discuss further the conference and our community.<u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-CA"><u></u> <u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-CA">Thank you for considering my request,<u></u><u></u></span></p>
