The PSF emphasizes the importance of travel grants for PyCon US, showcasing their commitment to supporting community members' growth and participation. For 2025, a record number of 952 applications were received, totaling nearly $1.7 million, but only a fraction could be funded due to budget constraints. With ongoing economic pressures affecting corporate sponsorships, the funding remains critical for maintaining diversity and inclusivity in the event. Despite these challenges, the PSF is transparent about its grant process and continues to seek support from various sources to expand opportunities for attendees.
Providing travel grants to community members for PyCon US and witnessing both their growth and contributions to the event is one of the most fulfilling aspects of our work at the PSF, and every year, we only wish we could award more!
PyCon US 2025 received 952 travel grant applications from 87 countries totaling almost $1.7M. The total dollar amount requested was more than six times the available budget.
