Introducing PSF Grants Program Office Hours

In October 2023, we acknowledged the situation surrounding DjangoCon Africa and noted our intent to make ongoing improvements to the Grants Program. We also recognize that we are in a new world of hybrid programming since the onset of the pandemic which comes with different funding and cost challenges. One step we are taking to refresh the Grants Program (we’ll be reporting on other steps soon) is to establish PSF Grants Program Office Hours. The office hours will be hosted on the Python Software Foundation Discord once a month at 1-2PM UTC (9AM Eastern) on the third Tuesday of the month. (Check what time that is for you.) We invite the Python community to join in to receive support for Grant-related questions and inquiries! If you have urgent or immediate questions related to the Grants Program, please email grants@pyfound.org.

We're looking for candidates with a diverse range of skills and backgrounds, including leadership experience, fundraising knowledge, non-profit familiarity, and event organizing.

Announcing a 2026 PSF Grants Program Funding Round

The Python Software Foundation (PSF) is excited to announce a 2026 PSF Grants Program 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. It’s our honor to have the opportunity to disburse grant funding in 2026. 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.

The PSF D&I Workgroup Are Starting Office Hours in July!

Doing diversity and inclusion work in tech can feel isolating sometimes. You might be organizing a meetup, writing a code of conduct, trying to get funding for your community, or helping people feel welcome, often in your spare time, and wondering if anyone else is wrestling with the same things.

A new PSF Board- Another year of PSF Board Office Hour sessions!

Greetings, Pythonistas- thank you so much for supporting the work of the PSF and the Python community! The newest PSF Board has decided to continue investing in connecting with the global Python community by running the PSF Board Office Hour sessions on the PSF Discord into 2026. We began running these sessions in September 2024, and they have proven to be a great method for the community to connect with the board and vice versa. The sessions have provided the PSF Board and Staff the opportunity to hear what our community is up to and what challenges they are facing, as well as receive invaluable feedback about how the PSF can continue to improve our service to the Python community.
