How partnerships work

[edit]

Regional Partnerships Managers are based around the world, with a priority on those regions that have historically been underrepresented in our Movement. Partnerships Managers have relationships with Affiliates and external partners in those regions, and seek to ensure that Affiliates have access to external partners and that partners deepen their understanding of and become advocates for the Wikimedia Movement.

You can contact us at partnerships(_AT_)wikimedia.org or in our Talk Page.

Movement funding

[edit]

The Community Resources and Partnerships team supports the Wikimedia Community Fund with its two primary areas: General Support Fund and Rapid Fund. We support the professionalization and ongoing activities of Wikimedia Affiliates, organizations, groups, and community members.

Regional Program Officers work closely with the 8 Regional Fund Committees, which are made up of volunteers from the Movement, to review proposals, provide guidance to grant applicants, and make funding decisions.

The Wikimedia Foundation Funds has other funding programs to support movement conferences, hubs, and research.
