OSGeo Budget 2017

Operational Budget for 2017

Thanks to our sponsors, and a series of successful events, OSGeo has an operational budget for 2017.

The Board took a different approach to the 2017 budget, dividing up by committee. The Board has reached out to each committee for guidance on their 2017 requirements.

• Annual Budget for 2017: OSGeo operational budget for 2017
• Website/Rebranding Amendment: Website/branding reboot budget request
• Travel Grant Budget Amendment: OSGeo Travel Grant 10+10 proposal

Please keep in mind that the following is budget and does not represent a commitment to spend money on the actives listed - to do that we need your help as a volunteer!
