Hey folks,
In the current round of Individual Engagement Grants (IEG), applicants have submitted many proposals oriented toward outreach activities, partnerships, and increasing the availability of sources to create content. I’ve listed these below with brief descriptions.
Community members with GLAM-outreach experience are well suited to comment on these ideas, and applicants are seeking your feedback! If one of these ideas interests you, consider reading it over, and feel free to endorse, express concerns, make suggestions, and ask questions. Your input and expertise will help the applicants develop better proposals, and support the IEG Committee during their evaluation. Comments are requested until October 19th.
You are, of course, welcome to check out and comment on other IEG applications for this round https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:IEG#ieg-join.
