Hi Pine,
As a reminder, the WMDC small grants program doesn't have a minimum grant
amount. :-)
Cheers,
Kirill

Ah, thanks Alex.
In this case I guess I will cover the cost personally and request
reimbursement later. If we approach GAC for startup funds, that request is
likely to be over the $500 threshold.

Hi Pine and Cascadia Wikimedians,
Great to hear the user group is planning for startup costs and events for
the next year. Typically, we do not accept proposals under $500 (see eligibility
requirements
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:PEG/Eligibility_requirements>).
This policy was put in place to maximize the Grant Advisory Committee,
grant requestor, and staff's time.
We would suggest that you either (1) fund the event yourselves, save the
receipts, and then include a request for reimbursement in your first grant
(normally we do not encourage retrospective grant requests, but this would
be an exception) or (2) request a grant now for at least $500 for small
events covering a year or so.
Please let me know if you have any questions. Happy to help!
Cheers,
Alex

Cascadians,
I hope you are enjoying the holiday today.
December will soon be here, and with it our holiday party. Because of
the delays of our User Group application we are significantly behind the
timeline that I anticipated when I first discussed the possibility of a
holiday party with TA3M. I'd like to suggest that I personally make a
request to GAC for about $50-$75 for food and non-alcoholic beverage
expenses for the party, because I want to make sure that GAC has time to
process this request before the party happens. Please let me know if there
are any concerns. If not I will submit a request to GAC soon.
Thanks,
Pine
