Grants:MSIG/Examples

From Meta, a Wikimedia project coordination wiki

A strong proposal is clearly outlined and demonstrates a good knowledge of the current status of the initiative it is seeking to implement. Here are a few examples. They show what kinds of plans are most likely to be funded, as well as the level of detail expected for each application.

There is no requirement to follow any of these examples: They can be a starting point or a reference to help you formulate your own grant request. Your grant request should both meet the grants criteria (with which the examples can help), as well as your own unique goals.
