I did a quick check through funded rapid grants over the last 2 years.
Although there's no precedent for asking for advertising money in rapid
grants (they're typically requesting catering and wifi money for
editathons), our grant is actually much more similar to a small "Project
grant <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:Project/Browse_applications
".
Those include quite varied requests
(e.g. salary, travel, equipment for a
WiR
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:Project/John_
Cummings/Wikimedian_in_Residence_at_UNESCO_2017-2018>
).
We could put advertising costs as an "optional" expense line. The WMF could
then decide whether it was willing to fund that line without it
jeopardising the rest of the budget.

Thanks Gwinyai for your support. Targetted ads
were what I was talking
about. Apart from facebook ads, google ads also carry similar prospects.
I
was just wondering if we could set up the right
strategy and reach out to
people searching for open access journals without any apc or may be for
publication in leading journals like nejm. I am just thinking out loud
and
my thoughts would require refinement.

Hi All,
I do not necessarily see it as 'giving money' to Facebook. They're
offering us a service in exchange for money. Social media, I think, is
where we can get word out most effectively about *WikiJournal of
Medicine* and reach potential collaborators, authors, etc. I do not see
a better way Diptanshu.
Kindest regards,
Gwinyai
