Not Funded

Dear Ogundele1,

Thanks for submitting your grant application to organize a Wikidata Birthday celebration event in your community. After reviewing your proposal, and consulting with local affiliates, and Wikidata birthday coordinators, we made a hard decision to not fund your request.

In order to ensure coordination and collaboration in the communities, we decided to approve Wikidata Birthday celebration grants only for recognized affiliates and allied organizations. We highly encourage you to join your efforts with your local affiliate and organize a Wikidata Birthday celebration together.

You can reach out to your local affiliate if you need any support to participate in the local celebrations.

Seeing that you are from a Nigerian community, you can also consider applying for the Wikimedia Nigeria User Group microgrants program if you need financial support to participate.
