Hi everyone,
If you are planning to apply for grants with value more than USD 2000 for your WLM 2017 contest, please make sure you read this call for announcement https://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikimedia-l/2017-February/086439.html and apply no later than March 14. If your request is approved, you will receive funding in June 2017. Note that if you miss this deadline, the next round of grant requests will give you grants in December 2017, which may be too late for your WLM 2017.
And, of course, if you are planning to apply for grants with value no more than $2000, rapid grants https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:Project/Rapid are your best choice, and for this kind of grant you will have more time to prepare.
Best, Lily
