Fast Turnaround: Digital Square Funding Opportunity

Quick update: the concept note has been submitted and we received a couple of follow up emails:

Good Day Community

Our call has come to an end as of 8pm PDT yesterday (11 July 2022). Thank you to those who have participated and submitted concept notes. I have been made aware that there have been some issues in terms of submissions due to a typo in Maria’s email address which should have read msoc@path.org .

I have sent a separate email to those who’s concept notes we’ve received confirming that we have received them. If you have submitted a concept note and have not received a “Concept Note Received - Digital Square funding opportunity” email please reach out to me before 8pm PDT 12 July 2022 and we can discuss options.

We appreciate your enthusiasm in your submissions and have had a near overwhelmingly good response – a great set of readings await the TEC! We hope to notify successful applicants in the next week or so. All unsuccessful concept notes will be kept of file and Digital Square will continue to review opportunities for funding.

We also look forward to the release of Notice G in the next month or so – this time it will be an opportunity to reaffirm that tools are global goods (note all existing global goods will be expected to apply and submit information to ensure they still meet the global goods tag) and a space for new tools to present to be considered as global goods. We encourage all to review the global good maturity model and begin to prepare evidence to support your maturity levels and the measures in the models. We are also excited to be introducing refined models for content and service global goods. So keep an eye out and share the news! In the interim – if you haven’t already, we strongly encourage you to visit the Digital Public Goods Alliance and register as a DPG too. Great things are coming!

Regards

I’m writing to confirm that we have received your concept notes – some of you had issues in terms of submissions due to a typo in Maria’s email address which should have read msoc@path.org . I will be writing to the broader community to ensure all are on the same page. However, if you have received this email please note that I have received your concept note and we will be reviewing them.
