Hi Lisa,
Thanks for the info, and congratulations to the grantees! I'm trying to find out more information about the grants (US$ amount, details of what the money will be spent on, and expected impact), but I can't see the applications or further information on meta - could you point towards it please?
Thanks, Mike

Hi everyone,
We are excited to share that we have chosen the first round of grantees for the Knowledge Equity Fund pilot. The Equity Fund Committee selected six grantees across the Middle East, Africa, and North and South America who focus on issues of access, education and equity within the regions they support. You can read an overview of the six grantees and their work on Diff[1]. We’ve also added information about the grantees and what’s next for this pilot program to our Meta page[2].
We are happy to welcome these new grantees, and look forward to their work as movement partners to support the free knowledge ecosystem. Let us know if you have questions on the Talk Page[3].
Thank you,
Lisa Gruwell and the Equity Fund Committee
