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	Notes
FOSS4G	0	Managed by Conference Committee. Seed money for 2020 will be allocated by the board when estimate numbers become available.
Local Chapters	5,000	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)
Travel Grant Program	25.000	TGP, 50-50% for global event, rest for regional events (Previous years had a component of matching sponsor donations)
Events and Code Sprints	15,000	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	Managed by the board since community projects do not have an assigned officer to handle their budget. We have around 15-20 projects expected in 2020 (see list bellow). Budgeted 1000$ for each project.

Total Initiatives Budget for 2019: $60,000 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 2019:

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	0	0	in March in A Coruna, Spain

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, event planning is well under way.
GeoServer	2,000	Considering a CITE compliance sprint in Europe
PostGIS Code Sprint	-	(included in project request above)
GRASS GIS Community Sprint	-	(included in project request above)
Small Code Sprints	10,000
