Hello @LiouShowShya,
Thank you for your putting in a grant application and also for setting up the Amis Wikimedian User Group meta page.
For documentation purposes, I am also including your previous grant and your final report here:
previous grant: Grants:Programs/Wikimedia Community Fund/Rapid Fund/Pgkla kari Seediq (ID: 21974852)
final report: Grants:Programs/Wikimedia Community Fund/Rapid Fund/Pgkla kari Seediq (ID: 21974852)/Final Report
Related to this grant application, we'll like to share:
1) Here's the oral culture translation toolkit which was put together by Wikimedians who are also interested in this field, like yourselves. If this is of useful reference, it would be helpful to know what are some practices that you have adopted in your final learning report.
2) Here are some samples of meta pages of other user groups - Kent Wiki Club meta page : Wiki Kent Club; West Bengal Wikimedians; Deoband Community Wikimedia, Wikimedia Aotearoa New Zealand. Depending on your needs, you may wish to expand on the content to include mission/goals, members, collaboration/ participation with the wider wikimedia movement (e.g. ESEAP conference) etc.
3) In the longer term, if there is an intention to be formally recognised as an affiliate similar to Paiwan Usergroup, you may be interested in the recent development of affiliates strategy.
4) We also recommend putting up a Diff post to share your experiences post project.
For future grant applications, you may be interested to know that
these are other communities in Taiwan who are in a similar space:

Other communities in ESEAP and South Asia regions who also recently secured a rapid fund grant:
For future phases of the project, it may be useful to explore peer learning or cross collaboration to deepen your work in this area.
Thank you.

Your grant application has been approved[edit]
Hello @LiouShowShya
Congratulations! Your grant application has been approved in the amount of TWD 150,800 from 1 September 2024 to 28 February 2025. With this approved amount, do submit a revised budget by adding tabs to your existing spreadsheet and labelling it revised. Please reply to this talkpage message once the adjustments have been made.
Let’s continue having regular conversations over the course of your grant implementation. Please let me know if you require support in any way or would like to share your experiences with a wider community through the Let's Connect Programme or at ESEAP community meetings.
Note on grant funding amount
In your award letter/email, you may observe that the USD equivalent may be different from that floating exchange rate on Oanda. This is because (at the moment) we apply a pre-determined exchange rate for each grant as determined by the WMF Finance team. Hence the local currency amount had to be adjusted.
We know even the best thought through plans may change.
In the event that there are changes to your implementation schedule, you can reach out to request for a grant extension (i.e. extend end date). Similarly, if there is a surplus budget or changes to your planned budget, you can reach out to me about reallocation (via email and on this talkpage). There is also the option to have the unspent funds deducted against a future grant. More details here: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:Return_unused_funds_to_WMF
Disbursement of Funds
To facilitate the funds disbursement process, we seek your prompt response on Fluxx and via emails with the WMF Grants Administrator team (grantsadmin@wikimedia.org). We highly encourage you to submit all supporting documents and endorse the grant agreements within the stipulated time frame. When in doubt, proactively reach out to the WMF Grants Administration team and copy your programme officer.
