Let's fix this wording to avoid unnecessary allergic responses.

The problem and risk that I see here is that D&I is not accepting any
funding for interns. Outreachy is. Saying the word "accept" with respect to
this funding may lead some to think that D&I is challenging, uhhmmm, core
beliefs (hah! didn't say it). In fact, I do not think that you intend to do
such and I, for one, would rather avoid an exhausting and pointless
argument of the form "You must not do this! ... We don't plan to ... But
you must not!  ... We aren't doing it ... *ad infinitum*".

How about this for alternative language that makes the actual intent more
clear:

*If Outreachy receives funding for more than 3 interns, we will facilitate
the placement of such additional interns with **Apache projects, but we
plan to keep the initial rounds of this project *
*relatively small for **learning purposes.*
