Evaluating Granting Opportunities - Apereo's Tools and Process
Join us for a presentation and Q&A with our very own, Josh Baron, current Apereo Development Officer. Josh came to The Apereo Foundation after working with the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation as their Senior Program Officer. Join us at our next MicroConference as Josh showcases Apereo’s newly developed funding tool and process for collecting and evaluating granting opportunities.
Talk Description: Looking for OSS funding but aren’t sure where to start? Trying to figure out what it will take to submit a winning proposal? Just want to get your general funding questions answered? Then join Josh Baron, current Apereo Development Officer and former Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation Senior Program Officer, for an introductory session on OSS grant funding which include:
- Overview of Grant Funding Strategies - Learn about key differences between federal/national funding and funding provided by private foundations and the different strategies that these require.
- Current Trends and Opportunities - What OSS topics and issues are funders focused on today and what are some of the current funding opportunities coming up in 2025.
- Assessing Funding Opportunities - With limited time and resources, it can be important to assess funding opportunities across a range or metrics to ensure you pursue those with the best chance of success. Apereo has developed a “Funding Prioritization Framework” to help projects make these assessments which are releasing for broader use and will be reviewed on the webinar.
- Funding Q&A - Josh will hold the last 15 minutes for general Q&A for any and all funding-related questions.
