by projectsfund＠ripe.net 01 Jul '19

01 Jul '19

Hello, For the third year in a row, the RIPE NCC is committing to support activities and projects ‘for the Good of the Internet’. We are pleased to announce that applications are now open for funding from the RIPE NCC Community Projects Fund. Through the Community Projects Fund, the RIPE NCC will provide up to EUR 250,000 per year to support projects of value to the operation and resilience of the Internet, with a focus on tools and services benefitting the technical community in the Europe, the Middle East and Central Asia. The Internet today owes its success to a lot of non-commercial, community-driven work, and this continues to ensure the Internet remains resilient, secure and accessible. If you or your organisation is working on a new or existing project that fits the criteria below, and need some financial support to get it off the ground or keep it going, we want to hear from you! Is your project of benefit to the Internet, particularly the RIPE community? Is your project non-commercial in nature? Do you have a clear project plan and timeline? A couple of things to keep in mind: - Funding may be used to purchase equipment, but this cannot be the sole expenditure - Funding cannot be used for humanitarian aid, donations, or to encourage political reform - Funding cannot be used to provide scholarships or cover tuition fees - Funding cannot be used to support any form of commercial activity - Applications will be accepted until 1 September 2019 See the RIPE NCC Community Projects Fund website for more details! For more information, visit: https://ripe.net/community-projects-fund <https://ripe.net/community-projects-fund> Kind Regards Alastair Strachan RIPE NCC Community Projects Fund Coordinator
