Re: [Wikimedia-l] Announcing Conference Grants application deadlines

This is nice idea to make it easier for WMF and those deciding but waiting
three months to apply for funding assistance is going to put pressure on
volunteers and see a lot of funds lost due to necessity of make bookings,
paying deposits without knowing if the funding will be there.

[Wikimedia-l] Announcing Conference Grants application deadlines

[Kacie Harold]

Hello!

As part of our ongoing improvements to the new grants structure, the
Conference Grants program will be accepting proposals three times a year.

We hope that moving to rounds will ensure a more efficient and predictable
process for grant applicants, WMF staff, and grant committee members.

We are currently accepting proposals for Round 1 and the submission
deadline is February 26th. Decisions will be announced March 24th and
grants disbursed in April. The deadline for Round 2 is May 28th. You can
see the schedule for all rounds here:
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:Conference

If you plan on holding a conference in the first 6 months of 2017, please
apply in Round 1!

If you are thinking about organizing a conference and need funding from
WMF, please reach out to me as soon as possible to discuss your ideas.

Please let us know if you have any questions.

Best,

Kacie
