It might (I haven't scrutinised the exact criteria) also qualify for funding from Google as part of their Google Summer of Code (GSoC) project [1]. GSoC is targetted at university students who want to program during their summer holidays and typically provides stipends of ~$5000 to support this.
Even if it doesn't, it still might be advantageous to run it alongside GSoC anyway (but open to students and non-students and privately funded) simply because GSoC generates a rare interest among potential developers to take on large-ish for relatively small sums of money.
