The Rapid Grants program funds Wikimedia community members - individuals, groups, or organizations contributing to Wikimedia projects such as Wikipedia or Commons - to organize projects throughout the year up to USD 2,000. Projects can include experiments or standard needs that don't need broad review to get started.
Applications are reviewed on a weekly basis by WMF staff. Rapid grants are meant to be simpler grants that can be reviewed in a short amount of time with limited back-and-forth with the grant applicant. There will be opportunities for revising your proposal, but we hope to make decisions quickly, within two weeks.
Examples of common requests:
- Food for your monthly community meet-up
- Expenses for a series of small edit-a-thons
- Reimbursement of bus tickets for a photo walk
- Prizes for an online writing contest
Proposals should support the achievement of Wikimedia’s mission. All requests under USD 2,000 will be considered.
