We fund reduced-price and free tickets to DjangoCon US for attendees from underrepresented groups, making the conference accessible to more people.
Financial Aid
Travel and accommodation grants help speakers and attendees who couldn't otherwise afford to participate in DjangoCon US.

Grants of up to $300 help community members organise their own Django events across North America, growing the ecosystem locally.
