<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Humanitarian, to me, is Humanitarian as
in HOT. That H is for crisis or urgent relief to a defined
under-resourced person, group or community. It is distinct from
Development Aid which is longer term systemic support, usually to
large groups or communities. Both can be a subset of Philanthropy,
which is a broader, indistinct term for being nice to people.<br>
</div>
<div class="moz-cite-prefix"><br>
</div>
<div class="moz-cite-prefix">I don't see that OSMF or the microgrant
programme have a goal of providing direct relief to victims of
disasters, poverty or other distressing situations. However, OSM
and associated organisations do provide an extremely valuable
resource to many Humanitarian and Development organisations and
others in that field by providing by far the best available
mapping of otherwise unmapped areas in the global south and by
providing base data for GIS users in those fields.</div>
<div class="moz-cite-prefix"><br>
</div>
<div class="moz-cite-prefix">So, a microgrant that supports and
reinforces OSM itself is an developmental act - providing a
systemic resource in support of global development. <br>

How are “humanitarian purposes” defined in this statement?<br>
