Revolution of 2016/Grants

A void between PEG and FDC-funded projects/organizations

It would be nice that it be possible to ask for grants from WMF that would not fall in either of the 4 options, currently

• annual plan grants (for big official affiliates)
• PEG (for groups and individuals)
• individual grants
• travel grants

PEG is capped (roughly around 30.000 dollars apparently). So between PEG and affiliates... there is a big void.

Official support of projects by WMF without funding them

It would be nice that WMF set up a system where it is officially supporting a project, even though it is not funding it with REAL cash (it is easier to look for other funding organizations when WMF has already put a sort of "yeah great project" stamp on it.)
