990 for the year ended December 31, 2024

Program accomplishments

  • The DSC fellowship program engages developers to manage some of the administrative and community management tasks of the Django Project. This facilitates community development, allowing the continued and sustained development of Django by a community of volunteers.
    Expenses $218,134
  • The DSF sponsors many local events throughout the year, specifically Django and Python events. These sorts of events are about educating people in coding. Most of them work in supporting underrepresented or financially struggling groups. Additionally, the DSF supports large, successful conferences by donating specifically to their grant programs, which helps people attend those workshops and conferences otherwise would not be able to attend.
    Expenses $27,650 · grants $27,650
  • The DSF supports the DjangoGirls organization as a whole. Many of the local events that we sponsor are Django Girls events, but theDSF also sponsors the DjangoGirls organization as a whole. The organization designs the tutorials for these workshops, and also vets local groups to make sure that the local Django Girls groups that the DSF donates to are legitimate groups, rather than people impersonating a group and looking for money. For a global network, a vetting process is important to make sure the funds get to the right people to offer the best help.
    Expenses $10,000 · grants $10,000
