Grants talk:Programs/Wikimedia Community Fund/General Support Fund/WIKI EDITORAS LX 2026 renewal (renewal in 2025-26)

Round 1 FY26 decision

Congratulations! The Northern and Western Europe Regional Funds Committee has recommended your proposal for funding!

The Wikimedia Foundation has approved the committee's recommendation to partially fund your proposal for €83,039.29 EUR for the implementation period of 1st January 2026 - 31st December 2026, taking into account the current NWE regional budget for the year.

Comments regarding this decision:
This is the Year 3 budget of the group's multi-annual grant proposal submitted in FY4. The team has come a long way and the new team structure is promising to be a healthy diversity of skills and competencies to build programmatic and partnership extensions for the next strategy.

The Regional Funds Committee particularly appreciated the group's effort in working on an MoU with WM PT, co-implementing the GLAM conference in Lisbon, efforts to formalise the group through registration as a cooperative in Portugal, and having a fundraiser specialist on the team. These all presented a strong sense of direction towards sustainability and long term planning, and we are looking forwards to learning where the group managed to expand programatically in 2026!

Next steps:

1. You will be contacted to sign a grant agreement.
2. If you have questions, you can contact the Regional Program Officer for the Northern and Western Europe Region.
