- Abstract
The Wikimedia Foundation currently offers 4 different kinds of grants to support various needs of individuals, groups, and organizations in the Wikimedia movement. This panel presentation will showcase several of our recent grantees as examples of WMF grantmaking, and discuss the impact their work is having offline, online, and on-wiki. Come learn about Individual Engagement Grants, WMF Grants, the Funds Dissemination Committee, and Participation Support through the experience of the grantees themselves! We look forward to hearing your thoughts and ideas about grantmaking in this session as well.
- Detailed proposal
The Wikimedia Foundation currently offers 4 different kinds of grants:
- Individual Engagement Grants - funding individuals to lead 6-month projects focused on online impact
- WMF Grants - funding project expenses for individuals, groups, and organizations
- Funds Dissemination Committee - funding annual plans and programs for Wikimedia affiliate organizations.
- Participation Support - co-funding with WMDE, for individual contributors to travel to participate in events.
This panel presentation will give you a taste of WMF's grantmaking programs by showcasing several of our recent grantees. Through a moderated discussion, we'll learn more about these grantees' work and discuss the impact that they are having offline, online, and on-wiki.
Panelists include:
- w:ca:User:Micru and w:it:User:Aubrey (Individual Engagement Grantee - Elaborate Wikisource strategic vision)
- w:User:Ocaasi (Individual Engagement Grantee - The Wikipedia Library)
- More grantees from WMF Grants Program and FDC to be added soon!
Come learn about what grantees are working on and experience WMF grantmaking from the grantees' perspectives. We'll be keeping the presentations short and leave most of the time for discussion with panelists and the audience - we look forward to hearing your thoughts and ideas about grantmaking in this session too!
