International Koha Fund - Grants Committee Draft Rules Te Horowhenua Trust (THT) in New Zealand has established a Fund for the ongoing development and dissemination of Koha as free software. In May 2015 THT entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with representatives of the Koha community regarding the operation of the Fund. Pursuant to the MOU, the Koha community has established a Fundraising Committee to, amongst other purposes, promote contributions to the Fund. The Fundraising Committee is now assisting THT to make rules for the establishment and operation of a Grants Committee to administer the disbursement of grants from the Fund. It is important to understand that whilst the Fundraising Committee is established by the Koha community, the Grants Committee will be a committee of the Trust. The Trust is seeking the advice of the community on the making of the Grants Committee rules. A draft of the rules has now been added to the wiki: https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Fundraising This will be considered at the next couple of meetings of the community.
