The program facilitates in-person participation of community members with children 12 years old or younger at ICANN Public Meetings and other eligible ICANN events.
Grants of up to $750 per family are available for ICANN Public Meeting participants who meet the criteria, are bringing children, and will incur expenses associated with babysitting and/or local childcare services. There will be no on-site meeting or conference-sponsored childcare services during ICANN80.
The deadline to apply for the ICANN80 grant is Friday, 3 May 2024, at 23:59 Coordinated Universal Time (UTC). The application form is available on the Community Childcare Grant for ICANN80 webpage.
