Grants talk:Programs/Wikimedia Community Fund/Rapid Fund/Child Safety Workshop of Project Editors at Wikimania and other Wikimedia events (ID: 23055316)

Comments from I JethroBT (WMF)

Hello dimi_z, I'm Chris Schilling, a program officer supporting funding needs for the CEE/CA region. Thanks for your proposal supporting this workshop on child safety. Unfortunately, Rapid Funds cannot be used to support conference participation at Wikimania or other movement conferences we fund, because we already fund scholarships to these events through separate processes with its own budget. In the current proposal, while we can potentially support some fees related to hiring a consultant, we would not be able to support the conference-related expenses. While this may mean that the proposal is not eligible in its current state because it depends on Wikimania participation, is there a way to modify the proposal to support a proposed workshop?

• -Hi, Chris! I could change the grant proposal to cover the consultants day fees, but not the conference cost. Would that work? --Dimi z (talk) 06:40, 16 June 2025 (UTC)

@Dimi z: Thanks. Yes, the proposal can be adjusted for this purpose, which would mean that only the day fees can be covered, but not the accommodation, travel, and ticketing expenses associated with Wikimania. Please update the budget document and proposed budget for the project accordingly. I will send the proposal back to you on Fluxx for revisions. After these revisions have been made, please resubmit the proposal on Fluxx. I JethroBT (WMF) (talk) 17:55, 16 June 2025 (UTC)
