That's interesting, and I'd encourage interested parties to explore this 
possibility. For the Wikimedia Foundation itself, our approach for the 
time being does not include pursuing government grants. Among other 
things, the administrative and reporting overhead such grants require 
are not the optimal use of our resources.
