These are the guidelines for project-specific IT Allowance only.
The Wikimedian’s user groups or the communities may apply for this support to procure devices like scanner, camera, tablets, laptop etc. needed to facilitate their work on various projects, based on the following guidelines:
All requests for this support should include a detailed plan of the proposed activity, nature of utilization and specific deliverables. This support will be given for the projects having long-term plan, significant free and open knowledge content enrichment and impact on Wikimedia projects.
The applicant will need to seek the support from the community on the respective project village pump. After the discussion, at least 5 active community members should support the request. Then the application will be placed in the Project Specific IT allowance of the CIS-A2K request page.
We are constrained to limit the number of requests under this category due to limited budgets.
Please keep in mind that individuals are not eligible for this support.
We strongly encourage you to reach out to the CIS-A2K staff to discuss your plans even before you make an application. We would be glad to assist you with your thinking.
