Event Fund Grantees

The Event Fund has awarded over $525,000 USD to three cohorts of grantees. Its grantees represent 37 organizing teams from 27 countries across six continents.

Grantees join a cohort of inclusive data science event organizers. CS&S supports grantees with training and resources designed to help them navigate the challenges of building community and running great events.
