Not funded

Hello Omorodion1,

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:

• There is a disconnect between the impact and the strategies. We think that the approach is not clear and a significant review of this approach is needed, especially taking into consideration the target audience and how you are connected with the issue.
• We think that the budget does not align with the requested resources, especially for the impact intended.
