scheme



Dear GPSDD partners,



The Open Knowledge Foundation is happy to announce the launch of the
mini-grant scheme for Open Data Day 2020
<https://blog.okfn.org/2020/01/16/announcing-the-launch-of-the-open-data-day-2020-mini-grant-scheme/>
.

This scheme will provide small funds to support the organisation of open
data-related events across the world on Saturday 7th March 2020.



To be awarded a mini-grant, events must fit into one of the four Open Data
Day tracks:



1) Environmental data

2) Tracking public money flows

3) Open mapping

4) Data for equal development


Thanks to the generous support of this year’s mini-grant funders –
Datopian, the Foreign & Commonwealth Office, Hivos, the Latin American Open
Data Initiative (ILDA), Mapbox, Open Contracting Partnership and the World
Resources Institute – we will be looking to give out 60 mini-grants this
year.

Applications for the mini-grant scheme must be submitted before midnight
GMT on Sunday 9th February 2020 via filling in this form
<https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSftekIb4Rn-W62RkWsDHeSKu1VD3QaWmlDNdhmfdaKItkoCSQ/viewform>
.



I hope that some of your organisations or those in your networks will be
keen on applying for a mini-grant this year to support Open Data
Day-related events all across the world.



I would appreciate any and all help with spreading the word about this
opportunity.



Many thanks
