Grants:Processing/Grantee Portal/Post award/Group

From Meta, a Wikimedia project coordination wiki

This page documents a process common to all or most of WMF's grants programs. Please don't edit this page, but please do create a discussion page instead.




Did you submit your grant request without the use of the Grantee Portal (e.g. proposal submission through Meta-wiki)? If yes, refer to your Program Officer's award notification email for next steps. For your reference, here is some information on the requirements to process a newly approved grant request.


You should have received a system generated award notification email. If not, then your grant request is still ‘under review’. Contact your Program Officer for a status update on your funding request.

If you have received an award notification email, congratulations on your newly approved grant request! These instructions are designed to help you confirm previously submitted information or provide missing information needed to process your grant. Follow these steps to confirm the requested information to proceed to the next stage:

2. Go to the Confirm Grant Agreement Details and check if the information to be listed in your grant agreement is accurate. Is the information accurate?

  • If not, choose There are corrections to be made from the drop down menu and let us know what the grant agreement details should be in the text box.
