Catalyst Grants Program :
Creative Commons is investing up to $100,000 to empower individuals and communities deeply rooted in the principles of openness and sharing. With the Catalyst Grants program, Creative Commons will seed activities around the globe that support our mission. Our goal is to scale our community’s efforts and support them in becoming self-sustainable. Through a rigorous public review and transparent evaluation process, the best proposals, submitted by CC Jurisdiction Teams and the broader community, will be selected to receive $1,000–$10,000 to make their ideas a reality.

Copyright Provisions in Law Journal Publication Agreements :
