Please see the sample Example application before drafting your application.
About your Mapping Community
Tell us a little bit about your mapping community at the moment, some examples of details to include are below, but please provide us with any information you think is relevant. Please write 100-200 words.
- Which city and country are you based in
- Which locations is your mapping focussed on
- How long you and/or your organisation have been mapping
- How many people are part of your mapping community
- The gender balance of your mapping community
- What the purpose of your mapping is (your mission)
What do you need the grant money for?
We want to understand what you plan to buy, how much you plan to buy, and why this will help you to scale your community mapping efforts. There are two tables for you to fill in your response, and you may add more rows as needed. Some examples are in the table for your reference. You are welcome to use a different format in your response, but please make sure to include these details.
Budget breakdown
| Item | What do you plan to spend the money on? | Expected cost per unit (in Euros) | Quantity you plan to buy / subscription length | Expected total cost (in Euros) | Why is it needed? (please give as much detail as possible) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Example | Wifi internet access | €50 per month | 12 months | €600 | This will allow us to run mapathons with up to 40 people at one time. At the moment we do not have internet access so cannot run mapathons with large groups. Having wifi will enable us to grow our community and achieve our goals. |
| Example | Drone with camera | €500 per drone+camera | 2 units | €1,000 | This will allow us to capture drone imagery to aid us in detailed mapping of our city, because the available satellite imagery is poor quality currently and not useful for mapping roads, sidewalks, and houses in detail. |
