Funding
floss.fund
The group reviewed FLOSS.fund Application & 2025 Year-End Giving and agreed on the following changes to be implemented
- Update the donate page with fewer tiers
- Add more high tiers on the donate page
- Update the
funding.jsonto match the tier on the donate page (and not the GitHub sponsor page)
The group discussed the opportunity to be present on other platforms, including Patreon, Open Collective, LibraPay, and Ko-Fi. We will continue this conversation next week with CS&S.
Funding Pipeline. Martin updated the funding pipeline and identified
- NGI Zero Commons Fund is accepting application with a deadline of August 1st 2025.
- Pathways to Enable Open-Source Ecosystems (POSE) (September 2 and January 13) to be discussed next week with CS&S.
- When looking for funding opportunities within the open science space, most funders are backing specific projects rather than providing general project support, as CZI did. Currently, the best proposal we have in this space is Discussion: How OpenRefine Can Support Federated Data Repositories for Open Science?. The group discussed the landscape of data repositories for open science. Martin will continue outreach within that industry based on this proposition.
