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.
