== Community Projects ==
Community projects act through the board as they do not have a project officer.
* Community Projects can ask the Board for spending approval (since they do not have a Project Officer) from the approved Community Projects budget.
* Projects that have been accepted into the incubation program can ask the Incubation Committee for assistance to work on incubation (such requests are included in the incubation committee budget not here).
= Events =
== Community Events ==
We have set aside a budget for community events in 2025:
* Supporting community building events is distinct from the development focused code-sprints below
* We are inviting community members to contact us about events (rather than try and adjust their event to fit into our code sprint guidelines)
* OSGeo is is focused on our outreach goals as an organization as such our primary contribution to events is free software and enthusiasm rather than finical, we use funding to enable our members rather than for sponsorship and visibility.
* Please note our financial guidance document

== Code Sprints ==
We have asked project teams for guidance to help set our code sprint budget:
* Please note our financial guidance document ask for event details, budget and fundraising on your part.
* Our priority is to share the risk with organizers allowing access to funds early to book facilities as required
* Code sprint budget is structured carry funds from one event to the next allowing us to hold more code-sprints with a smaller annual budget.
