Question from Wikimania COT Grant Team edit
Hi, Iopensa! Thanks for submitting your application and for planning the event. I have a question about scholarships for international participants and their potential support from the Wikimedia Foundation – do you mean any grant program in particular? Wikimania-related scholarship programs do not cover international travel; are there any other grant programs you have in mind? Aced (talk) 19:55, 8 June 2022 (UTC)
- Dear Aced, I put an interrogation mark because i don't know. The event is not designed to support international scholarships and it is meant to have participants managing their own travel, food and accommodation costs. I think Wikimedia CH and other European chapters probably have program for reimbursements for volunteers/staff/board to attend events. Maybe Wikimedia Foundation too? For this reason I put them there with the question mark. Wikimedia Italia has some funds of this kind for volunteers based in Italy. Do you have any suggestion? I can also remove it. iopensa (talk) 20:19, 8 June 2022 (UTC)
- Iopensa, thanks for the clarification. I'm not aware of the the Wikimedia Foundation having any programs to fund individual international travel to events for volunteers; I suppose there are no such programs. In such case, I suggest removing the WMF from plans and relying only on European affiliates. Aced (talk) 20:22, 8 June 2022 (UTC)
