๐Ÿ“ฃ The PSF is excited to announce that we are holding a Grants Program funding round! Open to Python Conferences & Workshops (including PyLadies & DjangoGirls) taking place between Dec 1, 2026 โ€“ Apr 30, 2027. ๐Ÿ—“๏ธ Submit your application August 4โ€“25 AoE Details โฌ‡๏ธ

pyfound.blogspot.comAnnouncing a 2026 PSF Grants Program Funding RoundThe Python Software Foundation (PSF) is excited to announce a 2026 PSF Grants Programย funding round. This is not a full reopening of the Grants Program as it existed before. Rather, it's what the PSF is able to sustainably offer right now, given where we stand financially and operationally. The PSF Board, PSF Staff, and PSF Grants Work Group (GWG) are deeply passionate about the program and understand how important it is to the Python community. Itโ€™s our honor to have the opportunity to disburse grant funding in 2026.ย In keeping with our focus on sustainability, this round of grant funding has a set budget capped at $90,000 USD, a limited scope, and a different structure and timeline for applying and reviewing. We will be accepting applications from August 4 - 25 AoE, for Conferences and Workshops that are scheduled between December 1, 2026, and April 30, 2027. Our top priority is getting available funds to the regional communities who need it most: those who have had to pause their events and initiatives because of lack of funding from PSF Grants or loss of sponsors.
