[Chapter-delegates] Upcoming Round of Community Grants Programme

[Connie Kendig]

Dear Colleagues:

The Project Funding program, newly renamed the Community Grants  
Programme, will accept applications beginning Monday, 2 March.  The  
application round will close Monday, 30 March.

NEW FOR THIS ROUND:  In previous rounds, applicants were expected to  
show 50% matching funds for their project, as ISOC will not fund the  
entire cost of the Project. This provision has been changed from this  
round onward. Now, at least 25% of the total budget for the Project  
must be contributed from other sources.

This contribution can include cash contributions or in-kind donations.  
In general, in-kind donations demonstrate a strong collaboration with  
partner organizations and are preferred over cash contributions.  In- 
kind sources of funding are accepted, provided they are from other  
sources, rather than from the applicants themselves. Wherever  
possible, applicants should provide documentation to substantiate the  
contributions from other sources.

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

23 February at UTC 10:30 and 20:00

to discuss the ISOC Community Grants Programme application forms &  
criteria.

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

http://isoc.org/isoc/chapters/projects

The webpages will be translated in the coming weeks to French and  
Spanish.

Those participating in an e-meeting are urged to read over the  
programme webpages in advance of the meeting.

Connecting to the meeting will be by Marratech. Details of how to  
connect to the ISOC Marratech Auditorium are at the top of the page at:
