Zdravím.

Prinášam novinky ohľadom rýchlych grantov z WMF. Vo WMSK používame hlavne prostriedky z 2%, takže sa nás zmeny týkajú pomenej, ale je dobré mať prehľad o možnostiach WMF.

Tiež upozorňujem, že WMSK vie poskytnúť a rada poskytne zdroje, či už financie alebo rady a inú praktickú pomoc, pre slovenské projekty. Čiže, kto máte záujem rozvinúť vlastný alebo prebrať iný (napr. dočasne odložený) projekt - napíšte nám! Tiež sa radi o vašom projekte vopred porozprávame a a poskytneme skorú spätnú väzbu, prípadne odporučíme ďalšie zdroje.

Hello!

We are sending this message to select community mailing lists and all previous recipients of a Wikimedia Foundation Rapid Grant. We have three announcements regarding the Rapid Grants Program:

*1. New Rapid Grants Program Officer! *

We are very happy to announce we have hired a Program Officer for Rapid Grants -- Woubzena Jifar! She started at WMF on November 13th. Over the last year we have struggled to keep up with the growing demand for Rapid Grants and are excited to be able to add capacity to our team to better (and more rapidly) support the Wikimedia communities. Please see her staff bio here: https://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/User:WJifar_(WMF). You can contact her at wjifar@wikimedia.org or rapidgrants@wikimedia.org.

*2. Three grant cap for individuals, groups, and organizations*

Beginning December 1, 2017 any individual, group, or organization will only be allowed to have three open grants at any one time [1]. This includes both Rapid Grants and Project Grants. For example, you can have 2 Rapid Grants and 1 Project Grant, 3 Rapid Grants, etc. This is to ensure that grantees and project managers have enough capacity to reach their goals and meet the requirements of the grant agreement. Conference Grants are not included in this cap. Annual Plan Grantees are not eligible for Rapid or Project Grants.

*3. Rapid Grants will be closed December 18, 2017 - January 14, 2018*

The last day to submit a new proposal before the end of the year will be December 15th. This will give us a week before our offices close for the remainder of 2017 to review and make decisions. We will not be reviewing new grant proposals December 18th-January 14th. We will begin reviewing new proposals again on Monday, January 15th.

If you have any questions, please email rapidgrants@wikimedia.org

Cheers,

Alex
