Budget Change Request

Budget change request

We'd like to shift $1702 funds from the $2500 refreshments (coffee/catering) budget line to travel so we can bring the AWHI Wikimedian-in-Residence for Gender Representation to Washington D.C. for a February microcrowdsourcing event at the Smithsonian National Portrait Gallery, and for a March edit-a-thon for an Art + Feminism edit-a-thon at the Smithsonian American Art Museum. Project extension request forthcoming.

Rationale

We spent less on catering than expected due to constraints on bringing food into museum spaces. Additionally, the AWHI Wikimedian-in-Residence works remotely in South Carolina and having her in person at the edit-a-thons add critical value to these events.
