If you are planning to distribute funds to community members, such as by running a local scholarship program, please provide additional detail on how you will organize this process.
Please provide a summary explaining the following:
- how you will invite community members to apply for funding,
- the criteria you will use to determine eligibility, and
- the processes or services you will use to distribute funds.
This description does not need to be comprehensive, but should generally explain the process for how community members will receive funds or support to participate in Wikimania.

Outcomes[edit]
Please provide a range or estimate for the number of participants the funding will support.
It is OK if this is estimate is based on limited information, but we want to have an idea of how your activities will support community participation in Wikimania.
Some examples:
- 3-5 participants will receive childcare support to support their participation at Wikimania.
- 10 participants will receive hardware support
- 10-20 participants will receive data packages to support their participation at Wikimania
- The key outcome is that through the vehicle of Wikimania 2022, the Wikimedia UK community is able to come together. We anticipate that over the course of the two days up to 200 community members will access the content virtually and up to 150 community members and new wikimedians will join us in person. The outcomes achieved will be engaging new community members, new and current community members will have learnt or developed new skills and all attendees will have the opportunity to connect and network with each other, celebrating and sharing in the Wikimedia UK community.
