Just noting that annual plans can go through APG or PEG, but the qualificattions and scope are different. Some chapers choose to continue with PEG funding becuase it is more flexible. The main limiter on PEG funding is that it will not pay for full time permanent staff; however according to Meta it may pay for part time or temporary staff.
APGs and PEGs for annual plans are usually recurring, but PEG funds a variety of programs in addition to annual plans.
This is the kind of conversation that I hope Luis and his team will be considering holistically in the next several months.

Hello Wikimedians,
Round 2 of the Annual Plan Grants program [1] is underway, and the Community Review process is open for your comments and questions. In this round, six proposals were submitted to the Funds Dissemination Committee, by the Centre for Internet and Society, Wikimedia Armenia, Wikimédia France, Wikimedia Italia, Wikimedia Norge, and Wikimedia ZA -- with total requests of USD $1,531,687. [2] These six proposals, developed based on the organizations' annual plans, include programmatic and operational costs, and are requests for general funding.
Hi.
I've looked through some of this briefly and I'm still unclear what an annual plan grant is, exactly.
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:APG and your e-mail directed me to https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:APG/Information, but I'm still not totally sure I get it. Are annual plan grants open to anyone or just affiliated groups?
I took a look at this page: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:APG/Proposals/2014-2015_round2.
It seems like annual plan grants are (mostly?) for certain types of Wikimedia chapters? Are the grants considered one-time or recurring? Perhaps more specifically: how are the funds distributed throughout a year? I also thought annual plan grant might mean that the money is specifically intended to fund annual plans of other organizations, but I'm struggling to find a clear definition on Meta-Wiki at the moment.
