Comments from WMF[edit]

Hello Danidamiobi, thank you for submitting this final report and your expense documentation. We have reviewed both and have posted questions and comments below. We cannot accept the reports without resolving some issues below, but it is our hope that we can accomplish that quickly and accept them soon.

Comments and Questions[edit]

Congratulations on achieving or exceeding so many of your goals with this grant! You had strong attendance at most events, despite having fewer events than anticipated, and also did a great job attracting new editors and editing articles. Thank you also for sharing insights into things that worked well and things that could use improvement. As you identified, having a variety of activities over the year is a great way to motivate participants and retain their interest. We’re happy to hear that the incentives you offered—even just a simple photo—also motivated participants.

While it might make events easier to purchase a modem or a projector, rapid grants no longer supports the purchase of equipment. However, you may continue to request funds to rent equipment in future grants.
Thank you for identifying receipts as an obstacle to completing the grant. Meticulous record-keeping while activities are ongoing will make the reporting process significantly easier. If you want any tips or training on best practices we would be happy to provide them.

Issues to resolve[edit]

On the subject of receipts, we have compared the receipts you submitted to the expenses listed in your report and found that we are missing receipts for the following expenses. Please submit receipts or a non-receipted disbursement sheet for these expenses.

July 20th Edit-a-thon: Food and drink, NGN 11,980; Calls/airtime NGN 100
August 15 Wikipedia voice: Photographer, NGN 3,000; Bank charges, NGN 544
March 8 Beyond Reading: Incentives, NGN 4,000; Miscellaneous, NGN 1,700
May 23 Wiki Hatch: Stickers, NGN 6,000

Additionally, in the disbursement sheet for non-receipted expenses that you submitted (the document is titled “New Doc 2019-11-11 16.55.31_3.jpg”) we were not able to match the following expenses to your report:

June 8 Refreshment for publicity day, NGN 1,260
May 9, Olushola’s reimbursement for coordinator’s hotel, NGN 30,000
May 9, Isaac’s reimbursement for coordinator’s hotel, NGN 30,000
May 9, Olushola’s reimbursement for coordinator’s food, NGN 15,000
May 9, Isaac’s reimbursement for coordinator’s food, NGN 15,000
May 30-June 8, Printing, NGN 28,350

If these are in the report please indicate where. If they are not, please edit the report (including the total spent) to include these expenses. We look forward to your replies and to closing this grant as soon as possible. Best regards, WJifar (WMF) (talk) 22:55, 27 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Response[edit]

Thank you very much for your response Woubzena. We understand rapid grants no longer supports the purchase of equipment and would not only do as advised but look inwards the club and write for support/discount. We would be glad to get a mail, link or response here highlighting training/best practices/tips for better receipts for reporting although we think the best thing is just to ensure it's collection and signature as at when due.

The disbursement sheet for non-receipted expenses that we submitted (titled “New Doc 2019-11-11 16.55.31_3.jpg”) is for/on our grant on Launching of Wikimedia Fan Club University of Ilorin not for this one.

On the missing receipts, we have resent it in mail and would notify here and via email when we send a non receipt form for the below.

Accepted[edit]

Hi, Danidamiobi, thank you again for submitting your final report and for sending requested expense documentation. We reviewed and accepted the report and documentation of expenses. Thank you for your engagement with the reporting review process and with your work throughout the grants process. We appreciate the outcomes from your project, and what you learned with WMF and the community. I noted that there is N25580 amount of remaining funds. Since the amount remaining is small, you can use it for any mission-aligned purposes. This grant is now complete. Best regards, DSaroyan (WMF) (talk) 05:21, 7 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
