We're sending out another call for new Grant Advisory Committee (GAC) members! 

The GAC are community volunteers who are explicitly invited[1] to review and evaluate grant proposals made in the Wikimedia Foundation Project and Event Grants Program[2], and offer advice to both grant applicants and the Foundation.

We hope to increase the diversity of both our GAC membership and grants portfolio to include more women and gender-gap focused projects. We are especially looking for new members that can help potential grantees develop ideas that address the gender gap and provide mentorship throughout the project.

Read all about it on the Candidates page[3]. The deadline for signing up for this round is December 30, 2014, so be sure to step forward before then. New members will be inducted by the middle of January 2015.

Please help this message reach as many people as possible, by relaying it to appropriate lists, project pages, and village pumps. 

And many thanks to our current and former GAC members[4]!

Cheers,

Alex
