It is an opportunity to show the benefits of open data and encourage the adoption of open data policies in government, business and civil society.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">With funding from SPARC, the Open Contracting Program of Hivos and Article 19, and Open Knowledge International, we will distribute $12,500 worth of mini-grants to support your event ideas.</div>A mini-grant is a grant of between $200-$400 for groups to create Open Data Day events. <div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">In past years, we gave grants to groups based on location. This year, we want to take ODD up a notch and focus on problems that open data can solve. This year, there are four categories to the grant – Open Research Data, Open Contracting and tracking public money flows, Open Data for Environment and Open Data for Human Rights. More information on the minigrants and how to apply is available from our blog: <a href="https://blog.okfn.org/2017/01/25/announcing-the-2017-international-open-data-day-mini-grants-scheme/" class="">https://blog.okfn.org/2017/01/25/announcing-the-2017-international-open-data-day-mini-grants-scheme/</a>.
