Community Resources/Grants Strategy Relaunch 2020-2021/私にどんな影響が?
助成金戦略が刷新されました。Grants:Startをご参照ください。 |
私にどんな影響がありますか?
このプロセスと現状の助成金制度の変更により、みなさん個人もしくはご所属の組織への影響は? 以下に予測される事態のガイダンスをご用意しました。このガイダンスは2部で構成します。
- 個別の助成金プログラムとして提言に述べたもの、ならびに
- 実施において広範な考慮すべき各点
An important goal in this transition process is to ensure that you understand how you will be able to apply for and receive funding, how this transition will affect your current grants, and what new opportunities and resources will be available to you. Furthermore, because this transition process uses an iterative approach, we are open to and expect to make adjustments to the proposal to support your needs.
Information on specific grant programs
For each proposed grant program, we provide a conceptual framework and initial guidance related to what needs the funding will support:
- Scope of Proposals: What kinds of programmatic work will this grant program support?
- Considerations: An overview of initial concepts for each grant program.
- Relation to current grant program: How does this relate to the Wikimedia Foundation’s current grant programs?
Grant Program Focus Area: More Sustainable, Healthy and Diverse Global Movement
直近の受給者はこのプログラムの対象となり、助成金基金の最も大きな部分、助成金予算の80%超を分配する見込みです。その応募を望む皆さんには増額の手順 (pathways for growth) を明示する計画で、人件費や技能開発の機会まで視野に入れます。運動に新規の多様なコミュニティを招き入れるため、先見性のある戦略を築くつもりです。
Scope of Proposals | Initial Considerations | Relation to current grant programs |
---|---|---|
Short-term project and program activities, such as local edit-a-thons, contests, and workshops. |
|
|
Long-term projects, programs and activities, such as annual plans or regularly occurring international campaigns |

Grant Program Focus Area: Stronger Free Knowledge Ecosystem
このプログラムは、使命に沿った組織との協働により、新興コミュニティのネットワーク拡大と成長に役立つものです。補助金予算総額のおよそ10%を占めると見込まれます。基本的に新しいカテゴリーの助成金ではあるものの、現行の使命に沿った組織でプロジェクト助成金の受領者数件が該当します。プログラムをコミュニティの状況に適応させるため、私たちはコミュニティと緊密に協力します。
Scope of Proposals | Initial Considerations | Relation to current grant programs |
---|---|---|
Increase local awareness and readership through collaboration with mission-aligned organizations in emerging communities. |
|
|
Engagement with diverse content, increase local collaboration |
|
|
Support initiatives that will lead to a sustainable, healthy and diverse global movement |
|

Grant Program Focus Area: Improved Technology, Tools, and Research to Respond to Wikimedia Needs
現状のプロジェクト助成金プログラム (Project Grants program) によりソフトウェアならびに調査費を受給されている皆さんは、技術助成を主題とする新規のプログラムへ移項されます。これにより技術的な助成受給者に一貫性を高め目的に合った支援が可能になります。この新規プログラムの範囲は明確に定義し、特定の要件を設定する予定です。プログラム主題の予算は現状の支出レベルよりもやや増え、助成金総額の10%前後に相当する見込みです。
Scope of Proposals | Initial Considerations | Relation to current grant programs |
---|---|---|
Proposals primarily focused on software development |
|
Project Grants for software grant recipients |
Proposals primarily focused on research with a clear use-case in mind |
Prioritization of proposals by researchers in emerging communities with more limited alternative resources for funding and when there is an active local or global community interested in operationalizing the research findings

Project Grants for research grant recipients |
Broader considerations for implementation
Participatory decision making: Decentralization and power sharing
We are fully committed to the idea of decentralization and power sharing through participatory decision-making processes. We will review our eligibility criteria to determine what needs to be maintained (such as good community standing and commitment to the Universal Code of Conduct (UCOC), and what can become more flexible. To increase power sharing, we want to work towards guiding principles for grant programs that allow committees the flexibility needed to adapt to the realistic and adapted needs of community members to achieve their goals.
Regional and thematic committees
The strategic direction moves us towards a regional focus. Regional and thematic committees will be created that aim to account for the full complexities of the world and the movement. And that recognizes the diversity in programming, cultures and languages within regions and globally. Committee composition will be a key conversation during the implementation phase.
予算
提言されている戦略の初年度を支えるため、見込まれるニーズに基づき運用できる予算総額の増額を要求する予定です。現状で予算額は未確定ですが、この四半期に財団の年次計画立案期に入ることから、予算を申請中です。
We have a strong commitment to equitable funding distribution. We will increase investment in emerging communities. We will make access to funding more flexible across all programs by adopting a less conservative risk policy.
