Rapid Fund Request : Not Funded
[edit]Hello, thank you for submitting your Rapid Fund request.
We appreciate your willingness to contribute to the Wikimedia Movement. We have completed the initial review of your application and we decided to not fund it. We have received similar applications aiming to increase female participation and contribution in efforts and request that there be coordination of these efforts to avoid duplication and community fragmentation. Additionally, there is an opportunity to work with the language affiliate in having more coordinated efforts on International Women’s Day.
Lastly, we noticed a need for the lead team to gain more experience for such a project and ensure the metrics align with the resources being requested.
