Total 75.000 47.766 27.234 (50.300) This represents a 50k increase on last years budget

This is the 2016 operating budget for OSGeo, prior to this baseline being set the board set a $150k floor (allowing for a year of minimal operating expenses ($50k) and two failed foss4g conferences ($50k x 2).

This is the 2016 operating budget for OSGeo, it does not cover:

  • Multi-year costs associated with our annual FOSS4G conference.
  • Budgets associated with individual projects (OpenLayers, MapServer, ...) are under their direction of their associated PSC.

OSGeo stepped down from playing an active role during our application for US 501(c)(4) status - we are now ready to take on this responsibility for committees and projects.

If your project or committee is interested in fundraising for an activity please ask the nearest board member for details on how we can help.
