### Project Reports

110-
Successful projects receiving $9k are required to submit six project reports during their fellowship. Experimental projects receiving $1k/$2k are required to submit three project reports. This is used to show backers the impact that their money is having. These don't need to be long or detailed (although writing additional blog posts about your work is encouraged), for example, a list of GitHub issues and a brief comment for each would be sufficient.

### Getting paid

If your project is selected, we will create a contract based on your proposal This contract will include the amount to be paid, and the work intended to be done. We can fund maintainers anywhere in the world, barring exceptional circumstances like [US sanctions](https://www.treasury.gov/resource-center/sanctions/Programs/Pages/Programs.aspx). You will need to check with your accountant, but this contract is probably going to be similar to a freelancing contract, i.e. you will need to pay taxes on it.

We pay out $9k fellowships in three installments, 1/3 on signature, 1/3 at the midway of the project, and 1/3 on completion of the project. Smaller fellowships may be paid over one or two installments depending on the project - but typically at the start and finish of the project. Payment is contingent on receiving project reports.
