Greetings, colleagues!
We are pleased to report that all five organizations that have submitted Letters of Intent are confirmed as eligible https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:APG/Eligibility/2015-2016_round2 to submit applications for annual plan grants, pending their continued compliance with all existing agreements through the duration of their applications and grants: *Centre for Internet and Society (CIS) *Wikimedia Armenia (WMAM) *Wikimédia France (WMFR) *Wikimedia Italia (WMIT) *Wikimedia Norge (WMNO)
Wikimedia Italia (WMIT) has withdrawn its application for the coming round, and the Wikimedia Foundation will also be submitting its annual plan for review as a part of this round.
Applicants may now create an application by visiting their respective hub pages https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:APG/Proposals and following the instructions listed under Step 3 on each hub page. *We are looking forward to receiving the applications by the application due date on 1 April 2016*, at which point the international community review period will begin.
Despite the suspicious date, note that this application deadline *is real* :)
Best regards,
Winifred & Katy
