The beginning of a contentious thread on the Wikimedia mailing list about Project and Event Grants (PEG) and Individual Engagement Grants (IEG): https://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikimedia-l/2015-January/076243.html
An earlier official explanation here: https://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikilovesmonuments/2014-December/007600.html and here, offers to work with anyone who needs funds before that time, and notes that last year the earliest request was made in June: https://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikilovesmonuments/2014-December/007603.html Some strong words here: "Shutting down the grantmaking gives a strong negative signal to every organiser. 'Your project is not important enough for the movement', that is what this campaign says. "This is campaign is not benefiting the community, it is damaging it and it is damaging the trust of the community in WMF." https://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikimedia-l/2015-January/076276.html Note that Gender Gap is not viewed here as *part of* the community, but as a barrier to the community. —Neotarf
