GeoForAll	3,000	0	8,000	There was no requests for G4A prizes in 2019. For 2020, an activity similar to Hacktober/GCI/bug bounty is planned. This will be opened to everyone. The award for participating will be a t-shirt. $5,000 is requested for the printing and shipping of 250 t-shirts. The aim of the activity will be to encourage existing or new members to contribute to either the code or docs of OSGeo projects. This would be the higher priority activity for 2020. Then we would like to request two awards of $1500 (total $3000) for a microgrant award. The idea with the grant is to encourage G4A labs to contribute and work together.
UN Committee	11,000	1,172	9,000	Activities of the Committe available at https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/UnitedNations_Committee Budget 2019: the expenses are less because a Field Mission in South Sudan was cancelled; Budget 2020: 2 OSGeo Challenges (6,000) + 3,000 for the Partecipation at the "6th International Symposium on Partnership for Technology in Peacekeeping" 22-26 June 2020)
Incubation Committee	10,000	2,274	12,000	No operational budget requested (board's community initiative takes care of that). Funds requested strictly to be used to support team/mentor activities towards completing osgeo incubation requirements.

Total Committees Budget for 2019: $76,450 USD

Total Committees Budget for 2020: $TBD USD

OSGeo Initiatives

OSGeo initiatives have formed to pursue a specific short term, or long term goal. Initiatives maybe formed by a committee or the board as required. Initiatives are a great way to collaborate with projects, committees and partners.

FOSS4G - event series produced in collaboration with the conference committee and local chapters
GeoForAll - education and research program produced in collaboration with our partners
Incubation - mentor program for open source projects to be recognized as OSGeo project
Local Chapters - board outreach initiative establishing regional OSGeo groups for direct grassroots advoacacy
Meta CRS - interoperability initiative promoting data sharing with cross project spatial reference system compatibility
Open GeoScience - outreach and advocacy geoscience community
GSoC - coordinate participation in google-summer-of-code and code-in activities
Travel Grant Program - provides assistance for attending OSGeo events

OSGeo Initiatives	2019	2019 Actual	2020	Notes
FOSS4G	0	0	0	Managed by Conference Committee. Seed money for 2020 will be allocated by the board when estimate numbers become available.
Local Chapters	5,000	2,000	0	Managed by board, considering putting aside money to help establish local chapters (for logistics, legal advise, kickoff meetings rather than any sponsorship or direct funding)
GSoC	0	3,909	0	Managed by board.
Travel Grant Program	25.000	14,813	25,000	TGP, 50-60% for global event, rest for regional events. LOC's are expected to raise matching funding from sponsors or delegates and provide free conference passes.
Events and Code Sprints	15,000	4,087	0	Managed by the board. Funding to help organize OSGeo Code Sprint and other events (e.g. QGIS User Conference, PostGIS Code Sprint, GRASS GIS Community Sprint etc.)
Community Projects	15,000	0	0	Managed by the board since community projects do not have an assigned officer to handle their budget. We have around 23-25 projects expected in 2020 (see list bellow). Budgeted 500$ for each project.

Total Initiatives Budget for 2019: $60,000 USD

Total Initiatives Budget for 2020: $TBD USD

Projects

OSGeo Projects

OSGeo Projects each have a project steering committee, the chair of which is acknowledged as a foundation officer with spending authority on behalf of their committee.

Notes:

We have reached out (2019) to the projects mailing list with a default suggestion of 2000 for any project that responds
Projects with a plan may of course ask for increased funding
This is a budget, representing planned spending in 2020 - actual balance available to each PSC (from fundraising, donations and sponsorship) may be considered when planning.
If a project did not respond (or runs into an unforeseen expense) please contact the board throughout the year as budgets can be amended

Events

Community Events

We are considering setting aside a budget for community events in 2020:

Supporting community building events is distinct from the development focused code-sprints below
We are inviting community members to contact us about events (rather than try and adjust their event to fit into our code sprint guidelines)
OSGeo is is focused on our outreach goals as an organization as such our primary contribution to events is free software and enthusiasm rather than finical, we use funding to enable our members rather than for sponsorship and visibility.
Previously we have had requests to fund a "community day" or "community sprints" as part a larger event as distinct from sponsorship, the have been funded to the best of our ability

Event Request	2019	2019 Actual	2020	Notes
QGIS Developer Meeting and User Conference	3,000	3,000	3,000	for QGIS developer meeting Bucharest 2019
FOSS4G SotM Oceania Community Day	1500	1500	1500

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.
Out priority is to share the risk with organizers allowing access to funds early to book facilities as required
Code sprint budget is structured carry funds from one event to the next allowing us to hold more code-sprints with a smaller annual budget.

Sprint Request	2019	Notes
OSGeo Code Sprint		No financial request made yet, event planning is well under way.
GeoServer Code Sprint	2,000
PostGIS Code Sprint	-
GRASS GIS Community Sprint	-
Small Code Sprints	10,000
