Not funded

Hello Richest Kid,

Thank you for submitting your grant application. We appreciate your interest in contributing to the mission of the Wikimedia Movement. We are continuously strengthening our grants review process, ensuring that grant funding is being invested towards impactful projects and efforts geared towards contributing to the mission of Wikimedia Movement in the most efficient and effective manner.

After a thorough review of your application, we have decided to not fund your Rapid Fund request. Here are the main reasons for our decision:

• The proposal seems incomplete. The importance of the project, its impact, as well as the connection between the described change, activities, and budget is not clear.
• We think that the requested budget is not aligned with the project. In the future please write a detailed grant application that shows impact and the change you want to see; it should not be repetitive and should have well-planned activities and budget that align with your context.
• Applicant's and team's experience on the target Wikimedia project is not demonstrated. Please gain more experience on Wikimedia projects as a contributor and trainer.

Hi DSaroyan (WMF), thanks for the message. We have made changes to the grant request pertaining to the question on it's impact and matrix. Where we do fall short is your explanation to the budget, We felt that we have provided the necessary details that would enable us have a successful event with passionate volunteers for three month. Kindly assist us to make some correct to the budget or if you want any explanation to it too kindly let us know. Thanks Richest Kid (talk) 20:28, 8 August 2022 (UTC)
