Wikimedia Foundation[edit]

  • Grants:Start – information on all of the Wikimedia Foundation's funding programs
    • The Wikimedia Community Fund is a set of three funding programs with flexible support for individuals, movement affiliates, and other organizations primarily focused on the Wikimedia movement. Generally speaking, applicants who received funding through past grant programs (Rapid Grants, Conference Grants Simple Annual Plan Grants, Annual Plan Grants) are eligible to receive funding in this program.
      • The Rapid Fund supports short-term, low-cost projects by individuals, groups, or organizations contributing to Wikimedia projects. This program is comparable to the previous Rapid Grants program.
      • The Conference & Event Fund provides support to groups, individuals or organizations to organize local, regional, and thematic conferences that bring together Wikimedians for experience sharing, skill building, and networking. This program is comparable to the previous Conference & Events Grant program.
      • The General Support Fund provides flexible general operating support for individuals, groups, or affiliates that have developed larger projects or programs or a strategic plan that requires sustained investment over time to be able to achieve its goals. Multi-year grant funding is available if appropriate to the goals and objectives of the applicant. This program is comparable to the previous Simple Annual Plan Grant, Annual Plan Grant, and Project Grant programs.
    • The Wikimedia Alliances Fund is for mission-aligned organizations serving underrepresented communities in the Wikimedia movement who want to collaborate and amplify our work․
    • The Wikimedia Research & Technology Fund is a funding program specific to activities that improve technology, tools, or primarily support research to nurture a more responsive and accessible environment for contributions.
