+
+Adopt-a-ticket is your chance to support FOSS4GE 2025 by purchasing any number of
+extra tickets for the conference that will be donated to our wonderful workshop
+instructors and Travel Grant Program (TGP) receivers.
+
+## Why?
+- We are dedicated to running the
+[**Travel Grant Program**](../../registration/travel-grant/) (TGP) - a way to
+facilitate accessibility and diversity in the event. In addition to a
+monetary grant for grantees' travel and accommodation expenses handled in
+cooperation with OSGeo, the LOC will grant free access to the conference main
+days plus one workshop of choice for all Travel Grant receivers.
+- the LOC understands that preparing and conducting an educative and
+successful workshop takes quite some effort and time. This is the reason we are
+giving away free tickets to all workshop instructors.
+
+We do this because we believe this is the right thing to do.
+
+But this also means that the conference will miss out on some of the income funds
+although we still need to cover the related expenses (lunches, coffee breaks, etc).
+This is where we would appreciate your help. Instead of increasing the ticket
+cost for all we chose to allow you to make a conscious choice.
+
+## How does this work?
+When registering for the conference, you can choose between any of the add-ons: a
+t-shirt, a mug, workshop tickets and so on. One of the add-ons there is
+called _Adopt-a-ticket_, your chance to help us raise extra funds to do the
+right thing.
+
+We see it equally as an opportunity for smaller organizations and individuals
+who would like to support the conference but for whom the existing
+[**sponsorship levels**](../../call-for-sponsors/) are too expensive.
+
+## What's in it for you?
+With _Adopt-a-ticket_ you can purchase any number of extra tickets. In return
+we would like to show our gratitude by having you included in the
+[**Honorable mentions**](../../sponsors/honorable-mentions/) section of the
+conference homepage. If you buy more than one extra ticket with _adopt-a-ticket_
+then you would instead be eligible for any of the predefined
+[**sponsor packages**](../../call-for-sponsors/) in an equal amount.

+## FOSS4GE 2025 Travel Grant Programme (TGP)
+The **F** in FOSS4G stands for Free and freedom is not only important for software
+or data, but it is also important for the community in which everybody can freely
+participate. For years OSGeo has provided a Travel Grant Programme (TGP) for
+its conferences to increase the accessibility and diversity of FOSS4G events.
+The Mostar local organising committee is happy to provide travel grants in
+cooperation with OSGeo also for FOSS4G Europe 2024.

+
+### Travel Grants
+Every grant includes a free conference pass, one free workshop, and a grant
+fund of up to 300€ that can be used for travelling and/or accommodation expenses.
+The number and size of grants may be adjusted by the FOSS4GE 2025
+Travel Grant Committee based on the amount of funds raised for TGP.
+
+Applying for travel grants is open to everyone with only a few rules:
+- Being a regional conference, travel grants for FOSS4G Europe 2024 are only
+available to residents of
+**{{<
+    extlink href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_sovereign_states_and_dependent_territories_in_Europe"
+    title="European countries"
+    target="blank"
+    rel="noopener noreferrer"
+>}}**. This is a regional conference and
+a chance to attract more Europeans to the free and open source community.
+- Although Bosnia and Herzegovina is located in Europe, permanent residents of Bosnia and Herzegovina are not
+eligible to receive travel grants.
+- Everyone receiving a travel grant is expected to do volunteer work for at
+least 12 hours during the conference. This is a way to strengthen the OSGeo
+community and will help to create a better conference experience for everyone.
+
+The purpose of the travel grant programme is to enhance diversity at the
+conference. We might reserve a few programme spots for people with unique and
+outstanding applications. However, the majority of programme spots will solely
+be determined by the point ranking. In case of equal points, the distance
+between the applicant's hometown and Tartu is measured and the applicant
+coming from farther away wins.
+
+Please consider applying for a smaller grant (up to 200 €). It would score you
+more ranking points and also leave the committee with more funds for additional
+grants.
+
+### Scoring principles
+
+- **2 points** if you apply for a smaller grant (up to 200€)
+- **2 points** if you have accepted talk(s) or workshop(s)
+- **2 points** for previous proven involvement in OSGeo projects or community
+building activities
+- **1 point** if you proposed talk(s) and/or workshop(s) but they were not accepted
+- **1 point** of being enrolled as a student (including PhD student)
+- **1 point** for permanent residence in any European country NOT defined as a
+high-income economy.

+>}}**
+data puts the following 15 countries into this group: Albania, Armenia,
+Azerbaijan, Belarus, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Georgia, Kazakhstan,
+Kosovo, Moldova, Montenegro, North Macedonia, Russia, Serbia, Türkiye.
+
+### Important dates
+- **_February 2025_** - FOSS4G Europe 2024 TGP opens, start sending your applications
+- **_31 March_** - Deadline for applying
+- **_17 April_** - Grant applications are evaluated by the committee, and receivers
+of grants are contacted by email
+- **_14 July 2025_** - Start of the conference
+
+### Payment
+We expect grantees to  be able to fund the direct costs of travelling to the
+FOSS4G Europe conference. Successful applicants will receive conference passes
+and will become eligible for reimbursement of expenses up to the limit of the
+travel grant. Paying out the monetary part of TGP will be carried out
+during/after the conference by direct transfer to the recipient’s bank account
+only based on the actual expenses up to the total grant limit, meaning that you
+need to submit your train/bus/flight tickets/invoices and accommodation invoices
+that you want to have covered. Details will be managed at check-in time at the
+conference registration desk.
+
+For exceptional cases when the monetary grant will be needed in advance or
+specific costs need to be covered directly, please contact the organisers of
+the conference.
+
+**Please note!** Receivers of travel grants need to arrange necessary visas and
+other documents needed to enter Estonia to attend the conference themselves.
+You can get more information on visas from the
+**{{<
+    extlink href="https://www.mvp.gov.ba/konzularne_informacije/vize/default.aspx"
+    title="Bosnia and Herzegovina Ministry of Foreign Affairs"

+    rel="noopener noreferrer"
+>}}**.
+
+### Supporting the TGP
+The funding of travel grants comes from:
+- [**Conference sponsors**](../../sponsors/)
+- **{{<
+    extlink href="https://www.osgeo.org/sponsors/"
+    title="Sponsors of OSGeo"
+    target="blank"
+    rel="noopener noreferrer"
+>}}**
+- Annual commitment from the  OSGeo board
+
+You can help make the FOSS4G conferences more accessible and increase the
+diversity of attendees by
+[**becoming a sponsor of the conference**](../../call-for-sponsors/)
+or by
+**{{<
+    extlink href="https://www.osgeo.org/about/how-to-become-a-sponsor/"
+    title="donating money directly to OSGeo"
+    target="blank"
+    rel="noopener noreferrer"
+>}}** .
+
+An easy way to support is to
+[**Adopt-a-ticket**](../../registration/adopt-a-ticket/) during your own
+[**registration**](../../registration/) to the event. The
+proceeds from **adopt-a-ticket** will be used to cover costs
+for workshop presenters and TGP applicants' gratis entrance. With at least one
+_ticket adoption_ you will be included as an honourable mention in our
+conference channels. If you buy more, you are instead eligible for one of the
+different sponsorship levels at equal value which you can find in the FOSS4GE 2024
+[**Call for Sponsors**](../../call-for-sponsors/).
+
