[Koha] Mellon Awards for Technology Collaboration

[Irma]

Hi all, 

 

Interesting!  Well spotted!

 

For a description of "The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation" and it's charter go
to: http://www.mellon.org/about.html

 

Apparently, the Foundations Annual Reports (not online after a quick search)
describe grant making activities and present complete lists of recent
grants.

 

 

The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation

140 East 62nd Street

New York, NY 10021

(212) 838-8400

 

Would be good to get more information....

I will do a more thorough search online tomorrow.

 

Cheers, 

 

Irma

Hi good folks involved with Koha--

 

I hope this isn't just repeating something y'all have already beaten

to death; But I searched the mailing list archive for references to

this subject and couldn't find anything, so here goes:

 

I recently saw that the Mellon Foundation is giving awards to groups

which have contributed significantly to Open Source projects which

help the typical constituency of the Mellon Foundation (this includes

libraries!).

 

There appears to be an opportunity for a decent-sized chunk of cash

(25K or 100K USD) for eligible groups who've contributed

staff/time/other resources for projects that Mellon approves of.  From

the looks of things (to me, but i'm unaffiliated with Mellon), Koha

would be a good project.  It's not clear to me exactly what kind of

organization would need to apply to get one of the awards, however.

 

You can find more information about the awards here:

 

  http://rit.mellon.org/awards/

 

At any rate, keep up the good work!  If this helps any of the

long-standing Koha contributors breathe a little easier financially,

so much the better!

 

happy hacking,

 

      --dkg
