Activities

Tell us how you'll carry out your project. Be sure to answer the following questions:

One edit-a-thon for Art+Feminism. We will do a science-related edit-a-thon this Spring as well, but we will submit a separate grant for this event as it will be co-sponsored with another organization.

2. How will you let your community know about the event? Please paste links below to where relevant communities have been notified of your proposal, and to any other relevant community discussions.

Fliers, public event postings, outreach to social media, and email

Yes, there will be two or more experienced editors

We have computers for all participants to work on. We will provide training materials and a tutorial for attendees.

5. How will you engage participants after the event(s)?

6. Is there anything else you want to tell us about this project?

This year, we plan to reach out to the Georgia Piedmont Wikimedians group and hope that one or more members can join us for the event. We also hope to work with Wikimedia and other local orgs to promote and event. There is also a possibility to collaborate with the High Museum's editathon.

We are being considered for funding through the Art+Feminism group. If our funds are more than we need for this event, we will put them toward our Women in Science editathon later this Spring.

What resources do you need? For your funding request, list bullet points for each expense and include a total amount.

• $10 per person for food. Estimated attendees: 20, but could be more due to expanded marketing
• Up to $200 on print advertising distributed publicly
• May also use funds for print advertising to invite the general public.
