I did a quick check through funded rapid grants over the last 2 years. Although there's no precedent for asking for advertising money in rapid grants (they're typically requesting catering and wifi money for editathons), our grant is actually much more similar to a small "Project grant <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:Project/Browse_applications
".
Those include quite varied requests (e.g. salary, travel, equipment for a WiR https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:Project/John_ Cummings/Wikimedian_in_Residence_at_UNESCO_2017-2018 ).
We could put advertising costs as an "optional" expense line. The WMF could then decide whether it was willing to fund that line without it jeopardising the rest of the budget.

Thanks Gwinyai for your support. Targetted ads were what I was talking about. Apart from facebook ads, google ads also carry similar prospects.
I
was just wondering if we could set up the right strategy and reach out to people searching for open access journals without any apc or may be for publication in leading journals like nejm. I am just thinking out loud
and
my thoughts would require refinement.

Hi All,
I do not necessarily see it as 'giving money' to Facebook. They're offering us a service in exchange for money. Social media, I think, is where we can get word out most effectively about *WikiJournal of Medicine* and reach potential collaborators, authors, etc. I do not see a better way Diptanshu.
Kindest regards, Gwinyai

Agreed. But we need to reach out to the right people. Any better suggestions about how to do this?

I would insist on addition of another 400 USD (50 USD x 8) for strategic promotions including select facebook posts and also
possibly
elsewhere. It is very important to reach out to the academic
community
first.
