The Linux Foundation’s Travel Fund is intended to enable open-source developers and community members to attend events that they would otherwise be unable to attend due to a lack of funding.

We emphasize funding applicants who are from historically underrepresented or untapped groups and/or those of lower socioeconomic status.

If you work for a company that can fund your travel, we ask that you not apply, so that we can save funds for those who need it.

We receive approximately 1,000 requests for funding each year. To maximize our spending, travel fund assistance may only be used for:

• Coach airfare tickets.

• Accommodations ( The dates of the event plus one night prior are eligible for reimbursement).

• Ground transportation to and from the airport.

The Linux Foundation is committed to using funds to assist as many people as possible. To achieve this goal:

• We often cannot fund one person for multiple events in a year.

• Lower-cost travel funding requests are more likely to be approved.

• We typically do not fund the same person for two consecutive years.

• Decisions are final, and reapplying for the same event after receiving a denial will not increase your chances of getting funded.

To apply for the new fund requests, follow these steps:

1. Navigate to the Individual Dashboard login page.

2. Enter your login credentials and sign in. For more information, see the Sign in to Your Account page. If your login credentials are correct, you will be directed to the main dashboard or home page of the web UI.
