From Meta, a Wikimedia project coordination wiki

The Grant Advisory Committee and WMF staff will review the applications based on the following criteria:

  1. The fit with the mission and strategic priorities of Wikimedia. Remember there are plenty of worthwhile ideas and goals that fall outside our mission.
  2. The potential for impact in the Wikimedia projects that the grant aims to support (e.g. Spanish Wikipedia, Wikimedia Commons). How will the grant improve things? What would change, or come into existence, thanks to the work enabled by the grant?
  3. The availability and readiness of volunteers and the availability of other non-financial resources required to implement the grant. Are the applicants reasonably likely to be able to deliver the expected results? Is the scale commensurate to the size of the team and volunteer base? Has this been demonstrated?
  4. The track-record of the group in managing grants (where applicable).
  5. The degree to which the grant will add new knowledge to or spur innovation in the Wikimedia movement. At the same time, ensure the grant is not based on models already proven ineffective.
  6. The efficiency of the proposed use of funds.
  7. The quality of the proposed measures of success. Are they actually measurable? This is hard!
  8. The sustainability of impact beyond the duration of the grant. Will the work keep on giving? Is infrastructure or capacity being created to fuel later work?
