Program Hibah Cepat 'mendanai anggota komunitas Wikimedia-individu, kelompok, atau organisasi yang berkontribusi pada proyek Wikimedia seperti Wikipedia atau Commons-untuk mengatur proyek sepanjang tahun dengan anggaran $500 USD hingga $2.000 USD. Proyek dapat mencakup eksperimen atau kebutuhan standar yang tidak memerlukan tinjauan luas untuk memulai.
All requests between 500 USD and up to 5,000 USD will be considered(or its equivalent in another currency at the time of the application).
Individuals, groups, and organizations may apply.
Individuals are limited to 2 open grants at any given time. The total grant value accessible annually, in the given fiscal year (July 1 – June 30, for example, 1 July 2022 – 30 June 2023), will be up to USD 10,000, encouraging applicants to move into longer term planning in the General Support Fund program when more resources are needed.
Organizations including affiliates and informally organized groups are limited to 3 open grants at any given time. The total grant value an organization and groups can access annually will be up to USD 10,000. We encourage applicants to move into longer term planning in the General Support Fund where more resources are needed. This also applies to informal groups whose members apply for Rapid Funds as individuals (Wiki Fan Clubs, University clubs, planned User Groups, etc.)
Grant requests and reports can be submitted in any language.
Grants can be up to 12 months in length, and there is no minimum length.
Basic Criteria
The following are basic criteria that must be met by all Wikimedia Community Fund applicants in order for a proposal to be reviewed:
Projects should aim at improving one or more of Wikimedia's existing websites. Projects aimed at improving third-party applications are not eligible for funding.
Applicants should be in good standing in regard to ethical behavior within the community (e.g. social behavior, financial behavior, legal behavior, etc.), as determined through the due diligence process of the grant program.
Within the last year, applicants have not been blocked, banned, or otherwise flagged by Wikimedia Foundation staff or another affiliate for violations of Universal Code of Conduct and Friendly Space Policies, or for other types of violations or conduct issues. If such issues have occurred in the past, the applicant is required to demonstrate learning and understanding in regard to the cause for the issue, such that they are ready to serve as a role model for others as a grantee.
Within the last year, applicants have not been repeatedly blocked or flagged for the same issue and/or have not been banned on the Wikimedia Projects. If a block/ban is recorded in the applicant's account history, the applicant is required to demonstrates learning and understanding in regard to the cause for the block, such that they are ready to serve as a role model for others as a grantee.
Youth Safety
If the proposal indicates direct contact with children or youth, it also outlines compliance with international and local laws for working with children and youth, and provides documentation of the local laws in the annex.
The proposal demonstrates how they will ensure the safe engagement of young people in all of the project’s activities.
The proposal demonstrates that any adults who will be working in close contact with young people have been properly vetted and trained.
The proposal outlines an action protocol in the case that incidents occur relating to the physical and psychological safety of young people.
