Budget

200 USD total to be used for:

Community engagement

I will be blogging, emailing lists like Wikimedia-l, and hosting 3 Google Hangouts during the open call period. Will continue to engage proposers and grantees on-wiki during the discussion period and after grants are made.

Sustainability

The example should continue to be build upon by WMF grantmaking staff as well as the volunteer community (committee members, grantees, etc) being continuously grown as part of the IEG process.
