||
| − | Wikimedia DC encourages applications from anywhere in the United States for any activity which promotes our organization's mission to develop and disseminate free content. This can include anything from a library workshop to a photo expedition or even a small conference. For the month of September 2012, we are prioritizing applications for activities that promote '''Wiki Loves Monuments'''. The maximum amount that can be requested in a single application is $2,500. |

||
| − | For a microgrant request to be considered, it must be submitted through our website for discussion and review. After a comment period of about 15 days, the Grants Committee will make a decision on your application. Once your application is approved, you will either receive a cash advance or a form to apply for reimbursement once your event is carried out. Excess funds must be returned to Wikimedia DC. |
