Grants:TPS/Build/Design
Opportunities provided by TPS[edit]
- Travel funding provides opportunities to deeply connect participants to the movement and each other.
- Participation Support demonstrates an opportunity to reach a range of new Wikimedia grantees, including women and participants in the Global South.
Recommendations[edit]
- The volume of requests and grants made in this program must be increased in order to fully realize its potential; the scale of use is too small with the current scope and setup.
- Program pages should be redesigned for ease-of-use and to generate joy.
- Simpler application methods should be investigated in order to keep the process open to a range of applicants.
SCOPE OF WORK for Travel and Participation Support Grants[edit]
TPS should fit into overall concepts of the look and feel of grants pages, be informative and inviting, & explain the purpose and intention of Wikimedia grantmaking. timing approximation in green
