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 bloghttps://www.hotosm.org/updates/2019-hot-microgrants-program-empowering-local-openstreetmap-communities/.

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.orgmailto: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
