Actually it is here: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:Index/Eligibility_requirements "Grants through this program do not fund full-time permanent staff salaries and other recurring operating expenses, such as the rent of an office. In some cases, WMF Grants Program grants may fund part-time positions or full-time temporary positions with a limited focus and scope of work related specifically to the activities of the funded project. Requests for part-time staff will be accompanied by an assessment of the applicant's ability to effectively manage staff, and may require necessary infrastructure to support staff (such as policies around travel reimbursements, and hiring). Full-time staff and recurring operating expenses will only be funded via the Funds Dissemination Committee (FDC) process. Note that entities receiving funds through the FDC process may not receive funds through the WMF Grants Program during the same fiscal year." although it is a bit misleading, as in several cases (WM AR, WM SR, WM IN, WM DC) it was accepted to pay for renting an office. I wonder if it will be accepted to apply to GAC for temporary position for the person responsible for preparation of FDC application :-) -- Tomek "Polimerek" Ganicz http://pl.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Polimerek http://www.ganicz.pl/poli/ http://www.cbmm.lodz.pl/work.php?id=29&title=tomasz-ganicz _______________________________________________ Wikimedia-l mailing list Wikimedia-l@lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimedia-l
