Provide a detailed budget for your project. Please submit your figures in US Dollars.
Grants will be awarded in amounts between US $1,000 up to a maximum of US $10,000. Applicants are encouraged to submit budgets for less than the maximum whenever possible, as smaller grants allow us to fund more projects. Internet hosting fees can be provided by Creative Commons and therefore need not be included as budget expenses. Potential costs to include in your budget might include hardware, internet access, translation, travel, workshop, and coordinator expenses.
