Emne: [DDI-users] Call for DDI Funding Requests -- FY2026 Priority Funds

 

Dear DDI community,

 

At the June 2025 Annual Meeting of Members, the Executive Board will propose a three-year budget to enhance financial transparency and long-term planning while ensuring a balanced budget. The proposed budget includes a modest 5% membership fee increase starting in 2026-27, with similar annual adjustments for sustainability.

 

As we approach the next fiscal year (FY2026: July 2025 through June 2026), we invite funding requests for high-value initiatives aligned with the Strategic Plan.  The Executive Board has allocated $10,000 USD for this purpose.

 

Separate funding allocations have already been designated for existing working groups and committees, as follows:

 

Category	Allocation
Scientific Board	$4,000
Technical Committee	$4,000
Training Working Group	$5,000
Marketing Working Group	$5,000
Other Working Groups ($2,000 each)	$10,000
Dagstuhl	$8,000

 

If you wish to apply for a portion of the $10,000 USD in Priority Funds, please submit a proposal by 7 May 2025 to to secre...@ddialliance.org.  Your proposal should outline:

• The purpose of the request
• How it aligns with the Strategic Plan
• An itemized budget for the proposed activities

 

To reduce costs, we encourage proposals that minimize travel expenses or are coordinated with existing meetings or conferences members already plan to attend.

 

Thank you for your continued engagement in advancing the DDI Alliance’s mission and sustainability.

 

Jon Johnson

Chair, DDI Executive Board

Hi all,

At the CDI meeting today we expressed the need for an interim vice chair to take care og admin tasks regarding CDI in Arofan's absence.

Now Flavio has agreed to take this role at least through summer.

Super happy for that. Many thanks to you Flavio :)

Achim and I will continue to help, and I am happy continue to run the meetings.

Best wishes to you all, and thanks a lot for the kind support of everyone.

Best wishes,

Hilde
