* This is a list of university funds to support OA journals.  
** Currently, all the funds are designed to pay publication fees at fee-based OA journals.  If funds emerge to support [http://www.earlham.edu/~peters/fos/newsletter/11-02-06.htm#nofee no-fee OA journals], they belong here as well.

* When possible, annotate the funds with their launch dates, end dates (if any), special criteria, funding limits or cost-ceilings, and other notable features.

* If an institution once had a fund which has since expired, please include it with an annotation rather than exclude it.
