[...] In addition, we are moving our Brazil catalyst program into a ‘Partnership Grant’ model as we did with India last year. I will be sharing more details on this in the next few weeks, but essentially, Partnership Grants will be with significant allied organisations - particularly in the Global South - who support our communities in expanding reach and participation. These grant proposals will go through substantial on wiki review by the local community (for e.g. the Brazilian PT community), and then a short review by the global Wikimedia community. After this, the proposal will be approved (or not) by the Grantmaking team, primarily Asaf Bartov and Anasuya Sengupta. This model is likely to be used sparingly, and only when the opportunities offered by an allied organisation are significant to the growth of a community. We hope that these allies will, after the initial grants through this model, be familiar enough with our movement to apply directly for annual plan grants through the FDC or project grants through the GAC. [...]
As for the FDC/annual plan grants, that would require for them to be recognised Wikimedia partner orgs in the new affiliation model, right?
