Hi Olatunde,
It's exciting to hear you're hoping to plan WikiIndaba 2017 in Nigeria!
Please note that while the last date to submit a Project & Event Grant
under the current grant structure is May 30, 2015, beginning July 1, 2015
we will be launching a new Conference Support program to specifically
provide more support for conference organizers. I would recommend you wait
to apply until that program launches.
You can read more about the new grant structure here:

If you have any questions in the meantime, please don't hesitate to let
us know.
Cheers,
Alex
