[Chapter-delegates] Community Grants e-meetings [18 August]

[Connie Kendig]

Dear Colleagues:

The Community Grants Programme will accept applications beginning  
Tuesday, 1 September.  The application round will close Wednesday, 30  
September.

NEW FOR THIS ROUND: The selection Committee is considering offering  
3-4 awards at US$15,000, with the remaining awards at US$10,000, based  
on the scale of the project.   Applicants must clearly substantiate  
why the greater funds are required.   As with previous rounds, 25%  
matching funds are required for either award amount.

You are invited to attend the upcoming e-meetings scheduled for

18 August at UTC 10:30 and 20:00

to discuss the ISOC Community Grants Programme application forms &  
criteria and the idea for US$15,000 awards.

I will go over the guidelines on how to apply for funding and hold a  
Q&A session. Forms and information are posted on the ISOC website for  
your review at:

programme webpages in advance of the meeting.
