Reminder from the Foundation - if you need funds for a Wikipedia 20 event
in mid-January, Rapid Grant deadline is Dec 15.
Note that the minimum amount for a rapid grant is $500. With how the US is
doing, I'm guessing we'll all be doing digital events, which would probably
cost less than $500. I'd be curious if funding could go towards food
delivery credits in lieu of in-person food, but of course that becomes a
much higher cost per-person, so I'd be surprised if it's entertained.

Subject: [Affiliates] Reminder to finalize your Rapid Grant application for
Wikipedia 20 by 15 December 2020
To: <affiliates(a)lists.wikimedia.org>
Hi everyone!
The December round of Rapid Grants will close on 15 December. If you are
planning to submit a grant application for a Wikipedia 20 event taking
place on or around January 15, please make sure to do so by midnight UTC on
15 December 2020. For those planning to host Wikipedia 20 events after
January through the end of 2021, Rapid Grants will continue to be available
in the following months.
Please note that applications for Rapid Grants to fund events happening in
January will not be eligible for funding after 15 December due to the lack
of time available for processing those applications.
You can find more information on Rapid Grants for Wikipedia 20 and the
application form on meta. [1]
Thank you so much and looking forward to celebrating with you!
On behalf of the Wikipedia 20 team, Samir Elsharbaty
