Linux Australia is pleased to announce that the 2024 Grants Program is now open.
Applications are welcome from all members of Linux Australia. Membership of Linux Australia is free.
As in 2023, there are two different types of grants on offer this year.
Project Grants provide funding for open source, open data, open government, open education, open hardware and open culture projects.
Community Grants (introduced in 2023) offer funds to assist community groups rebuild and re-establish themselves following the interrupts of the last few years. We hope that the Community Grants enable groups within our community to revive past events or start something new that brings people together – in person, virtually, or both.
The total funding available for all grants is $10,000. Applications close on 30 November 2024 or when the grant funds have been exhausted (whichever is earlier).
Full details are given on the Linux Australia Grants page, accessible in the Member Area after logging in. This includes grant guidelines and an outline of the application process. Members of the Linux Australia Council are happy to discuss grant ideas, provide guidance in the preparation of an application, and answer any questions there may be about the program. The Linux Australia Council looks forward to receiving and evaluating grant applications from the community.
