Communications is a Wikimedia Foundation department. The teams in the department share information, create connections, protect and grow our reputation, build belonging in and awareness of — the Wikimedia movement, the Wikimedia projects, and the Wikimedia Foundation's work itself — with a global audience.
The Wikimedia Foundation's External Communications team works to raise awareness of Wikimedia projects and movement among audiences beyond the Foundation and our volunteer community.
Movement Communications brings people together and works to create a sense of belonging. We build connections, help people understand our mission and celebrate their role in its success.
