We would also like to announce that the Foundation will be supporting Wikipedia 20 anniversary celebration events through multiple grant programs:
* Rapid Grants[4] to support celebration events up to 2000 USD.
* Additional funding for Conference & Events grantees (e.g. for a regional or thematic conference) who wish to incorporate a celebration event to an existing conference.
* Conference & Event Grants[5] to support celebration events for more than 2000 USD.*
*Round one applications for conference & event grants [5] is now open until 28 September 2020.

Hello Samir,
I want to make an enquiry on behalf of Open Foundation West Africa. We will be glad to host a Wikipedia birthday event at our end but what we want to be sure is that we have a SAPG grant do we still have to apply for the rapid grant or we should spend from our miscellaneous budget.
We will be glad to know your advice on this.
Regards, Ruby D-Brown Administrative Executive

Hi Ruby,
Thanks for your question. Grantees receiving Simple Annual Plan Grants are not eligible for additional funding through Rapid Grants, so you do not need to apply through Rapid Grants to hold an Wikipedia20 anniversary event.
Affiliates are able to request a reallocation funding from their SAPG budget to support this kind of event. This can come from a miscellaneous budget that you mentioned, but funding can also be reallocated from any other budget where there is underspend that could be used for these activities. Please contact simple@wikimedia.org to request a reallocation if you need to.
With thanks,
Chris
