Request changes
[edit]We understand that sometimes plans change. Please use this button to request approval for changes to your grant’s budget while your project is in progress. Any variation of 20% or more to any line item in your budget must be approved by staff here before you make the change (for projects with budgets of $15,000 or more, the accepted variance is 10%).
Budget change request
[edit]We are requesting to reallocation of the funds for university events (2560 USD) to be used for some hardware equipment.
Rationale
[edit]In all over the country, the university courses are being made in distance. This changes the way we carry out education programs at the universities, we join the classes remotely and we don't need any contractor work for university events. However, as the courses are starting in October, we see hardware equipment (i.e : lap top, scanner, wi-fi repeater) needs for carrying out the online sessions at university courses healthier.
Approved
[edit]- @Basak: Hi Basak, thank you for this reallocation request for equipment to support transitioning your planned events into an online format.
This equipment request to support your online events is approved. I JethroBT (WMF) (talk) 20:46, 9 November 2020 (UTC)

Approved
[edit]As shared by email, we have discussed this request with the Director of Community Investments and we are approving your request in order to fund WMTR until you can transition into Simple Annual Plan Grants (SAPG). For the purpose of public documentation and making sure others understand this situation, I want to be clear that we usually do not fund such large budget change requests at the end of Project Grant. However, in this case, we are seeking to cover the gap period until WMTR finds a stable funding cycle with SAPG.
