title: Financial Support
sidebar_position: 5

To support Ambassador efforts to promote GraphQL far and wide, the Foundation is
glad to offer limited financial support through its [crowdfund](/crowdfund).
Please see that link for details of how to request support.

## Supported activities

- Locally producing stickers or printed handouts for an event
- Travel to give a GraphQL talk
- Travel to staff a booth at an event
- Other reasonable suggestions, please ask!

## Travel expenses

- Wait for the talk to be accepted through the meetup CfP process
- Review the talk proposal to ensure alignment with the Program
Travel expenses are the most costly form of support, therefore there is
additional guidance for them:

- Check to see if your employer can help first
- The activity you are doing must be directly related to promoting GraphQL
- Travel support may be used for transportation, hotel stay, or per-diem
- The following limits apply (these may change without notice):
- Domestic travel requests must not exceed USD $500
- International travel requests must not exceed USD $1000
- Total travel support for a single ambassador in a given year must not exceed
USD $1000

## Honorarium for content creation

- Ambassador applies for an honorarium each time, in a process similar to the
Community Grant
- There will be a maximum yearly amount available, paid from the Marketing
budget
- We should publish a guide to the amounts available (once this is agreed)
- A revision process is expected
Honorariums for content creation are also available through a process similar to
the [Community Grant](/grants). There will be a maximum yearly amount available,
paid from the Marketing budget. A guide to the amounts available should be
published once the amounts are agreed, and a revision process is expected.

Here are some various processes outlined for the Ambassador program organizers.

## Ambassador Applications

- When a new application is received, it is added to a working document
containing all applications for that quarter.
- The document containing all current applications is reviewed by TSC members,
board members and current Ambassadors.
- Successful applicants are those who gain "backers" from the review panel.
- Successful applicants are contacted at the end of the review period, welcoming
them aboard.
- Unsuccessful applicants are also contacted with relevant feedback about their
application.

## Onboarding

A call should be organized to onboard the new Ambassadors. As of May 2026, this
takes the form of a Zoom call which is open to all Ambassadors to join
regardless of when they first joined the program. The call covers the key points
of contact, the Ambassador tasks and support available from the Foundation. We
are trialing a 90 minute call, where the onboarding is only 20 minutes or so and
the rest of the time is available for Q&A and socialising time.

## Offboarding and Alumni Network

Upon completing a successful term, Ambassadors join our Alumni Network:
