Not funded

Hello M Bash Ne,

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:

• 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.
