Note this is a budget, representing planned spending in 2018 - actual balance available to each PSC (from fundraising, donations and sponsorship) should be considered when planning.
Anita has organized initial to collect feedback from all PSCs concerning planned event sponsorship requests:

Code Sprints

We have asked project teams for guidance to help set our code sprint budget:

please note our Code Sprint Guidelines ask for event details, budget and fundraising on your part.
Code sprint funding is setup to help carry funds from one event to the next allowing us to hold more code-sprints with a smaller annual budget.
Out priority is to share the risk with organizers allowing access to funds early to book facilities as required.

Sprint Request	2016	2017	Actual	2018 Draft	Notes
MapServer		5,000			Spending 2017: C Tribe Code Sprint (Voting) Plans 2018: TODO

GLTN Sprint			3,000		Request from our strategic partnership with UN global land tools network: (Voting) Since it was not budgeted for up front expenses were split between outreach (because partnership) and code-sprint budget
