Ten projects in nine countries have been awarded over $10,000 in grants from the Drupal Association to grow the Drupal community through camps, training and outreach.

The Drupal Association is excited to support emerging communities through the Community Cultivation Grants. Fostering the growth of the community takes on many forms, by giving a jump-start to those groups that need a little help, we as a community can grow together. The Association will continue to support those camps that are able to stand on their own by offering non-financial support and an official organization through which they can accept payments and sponsorships.

The Drupal Community Cultivation Grants launched in June 2011 with the goal of transforming, supporting and educating Drupal communities around the world. The second grant cycle ran from August 1st to September 30th 2011 with 14 projects applying for a total of $20,690.
