Not funded

Hello Elkay20, thank you for submitting your grant application. We appreciate your interest in contributing to the mission of the Wikimedia Movement. We are continuously strengthening our grants review process, ensuring that grant funding is being invested towards impactful projects and efforts geared towards contributing to the mission of Wikimedia Movement in the most efficient and effective manner.

After a thorough review of your application, we have decided to not fund your Rapid Fund request. Here are the main reasons for our decision: To ensure the non duplication of effort, we encourage you to collaborate with existing community groups and affiliates. The proposal lacks clarity and coherence in terms of what you are trying to achieve. There is a lack of consistency between the strategy, activities and general vision of the proposal. The proposed budget elements do not clearly align with the proposal, and need more explanation and breakdown.
