Hi Everyone,

HOT is excited to announce the launch of the 2019 HOT Microgrants program!
This year, we will be awarding Microgrants between $2,000-$5,000 for 8-10
communities throughout the world to reduce barriers and scale their mapping
activities and impact. Applications for the 2019 Microgrants program are
due by February 28 at 12midnight EST and can be found using this link.

We especially encourage communities from the Caribbean, Middle East, North
Africa, and Asia to apply, as well as those communities looking to
diversify their mappers (gender balance, age, socioeconomic status, etc.),
in order to continue expanding the global mapping community. Before
submitting your application, ensure that you coordinate with other mapping
communities in your country/region, finding opportunities for collaboration
where possible and minimizing the number of applications that propose the
same mapping project. For more information about the HOT Microgrants
program and to see the application review criteria, please check the HOT
blog
<https://www.hotosm.org/updates/2019-hot-microgrants-program-empowering-local-openstreetmap-communities/>
.

Please forward this information along to any other individuals and
communities you believe would make excellent candidates for this
opportunity. Any questions can be sent to microgrants at hotosm.org or
directly to me at this email address. Please allow 24-48 hours for a member
of our team to reply.


Best,


Jessica
