Hello,

WMF's Community Resources Team invites you to *join the Project Grants committee* to help us review proposals submitted during our current open call https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:Project. Funds are available to support individuals, groups and organizations to

implement new experiments and proven ideas, whether focused on building a new tool or gadget, organizing a better process onwiki, researching

an important issue, coordinating an editathon series or providing other

support for community-building.

Diverse skill sets are needed for this review, so all are welcome. This round, we're particularly seeking people with expertise in addressing harassment to review proposals coming from the recent Inspire Campaign < https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:IdeaLab/Inspire%3E.

If you'd like to get involved in the Committee, *please add yourself as a candidate by Friday, 15 July 2016* < https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:Project/Quarterly/Committee/Candidate.... You can learn more about the committee on our Orientation page < https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:Project/Quarterly/Committee/Orientati...

.

Hope to see you there!

Warm regards,

Marti
