Some Wikimedia Foundation grant programs pay grants in installments, which means grant funds are paid over time rather than as one large payment. This is common for some Grant programs. The timing and amount of each installment will be discussed with your Program Officer. Grantees should review their grant agreement or the conditions provided by the Grant Administrators in order to better understand what might be required before a grantee may receive their next installment of grant funds.

Alternatively, a grantee might prefer to receive their grant funds in multiple installments. WMF will typically accommodate this request.

Grant funds may not be paid to any grantee who is currently not meeting their requirements for any Wikimedia Foundation grant, including another WMF grant, a change in a grantee's non-profit status or legal status, etc. If the grantee is a Wikimedia Affiliate, they must also be in good standing with meeting their affiliate-related requirements.

Before a next installment of grant funds is wired to the grantee, Grant Administrators will contact the grantee in order to verify that you have met any conditions for the installment and confirm some information has not changed since they received their grant's first installment.

If a grantee believes that they have met the conditions needed to receive your next installment and they have not been contacted by their Program Officer or Grant Administrators, please contact them.
