Our very own, Josh Baron, current Apereo Development Officer and former Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation Senior Program Officer, showcases Apereo’s newly developed funding tool and process for collecting and evaluating granting opportunities.
Talk Description: Looking for OSS funding but aren’t sure where to start? Trying to figure out what it will take to submit a winning proposal? Just want to get your general funding questions answered? Then join Josh Baron, current Apereo Development Officer and former Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation Senior Program Officer, for an introductory session on OSS grant funding which include:
- Overview of Grant Funding Strategies - Learn about key differences between federal/national funding and funding provided by private foundations and the different strategies that these require.
- Current Trends and Opportunities - What OSS topics and issues are funders focused on today and what are some of the current funding opportunities coming up in 2025.
- Assessing Funding Opportunities - With limited time and resources, it can be important to assess funding opportunities across a range or metrics to ensure you pursue those with the best chance of success. Apereo has developed a “Funding Prioritization Framework” to help projects make these assessments which are releasing for broader use and will be reviewed on the webinar.
- Funding Q&A - Josh will hold the last 15 minutes for general Q&A for any and all funding-related questions.
