New subject: Open Street Map grant

18 Feb 2019

Dear Mr.,
I thank you for your answer. This will be interesting for MedinaPedia. This grant can be
used for full mapping of the Medina of Sfax and of the Medina of Tunis. I ask if Mr.
Houssem Abida, Coordinator of MedinaPedia Sfax, can have the time to apply for the
grant.
Yours Sincerely,

Hi Everyone,

HOT is excited to announce the launch of the 2019 HOT Microgrants program! This year, we
will be awarding Microgrants between $2,000-$5,000 for 8-10 communities throughout the
world to reduce barriers and scale their mapping activities and impact. Applications for
the 2019 Microgrants program are due by February 28 at 12midnight EST and can be found
using this link.
<https://docs.google.com/document/d/1xTO-KK5zjrbdOOh1yGhZ1vmWwDUZgdmEePT9RiNS5KQ/edit>

We especially encourage communities from the Caribbean, Middle East, North Africa, and
Asia to apply, as well as those communities looking to diversify their mappers (gender
balance, age, socioeconomic status, etc.), in order to continue expanding the global
mapping community. Before submitting your application, ensure that you coordinate with
other mapping communities in your country/region, finding opportunities for collaboration
where possible and minimizing the number of applications that propose the same mapping
project. For more information about the HOT Microgrants program and to see the application
review criteria, please check the HOT
blog<https://www.hotosm.org/updates/2019-hot-microgrants-program-empower…s/>.

Please forward this information along to any other individuals and communities you believe
would make excellent candidates for this opportunity. Any questions can be sent to
microgrants@hotosm.org<mailto:microgrants@hotosm.org> or directly to me at this
email address. Please allow 24-48 hours for a member of our team to reply.

Best,

Jessica
