Plan a conference or event

These are the best practices for creating a successful conference grant proposal. Find all resources on the Events Portal in the Events Team Portal – Community space section.

Step 1: Send out community engagement survey
The Community Engagement survey is used to show the importance of this event for your community. It will help to show the topics your community finds important.
  1. Open the community engagement survey template and make a copy. This is a master file, please do not edit but make a Copy.
  2. Do not remove any questions. You are welcome to add more questions. You can also translate the survey.
  3. Send the survey out to people of interest in your community. Set a deadline for survey responses and send out reminders.
  4. You will add the results in the application form.

Important note: The community engagement survey is required.

Step 2: Learn from similar events and best practices
The Wikimedia community is a resource of knowledge! Make sure you review applications and reports from similar events. Here are some things to consider.

Partnerships & scholarships:

  • Active and experienced editors and volunteers should be engaged in the group. These are also the best participants for travel scholarships.
  • Conferences can be an expensive and ineffective way to do outreach.
  • Consider offering partial scholarships. Or asking applicants how much funding they need to attend the event.

Location & Timing:

  • Choose a central location for participants. This will keep travel costs lower and allow you to give more travel scholarships to those who need them.
  • Keep conference and working group meetings to two or three days.
  • Limit sightseeing trips to evenings, after the conference program has ended.
Step 3: Plan your budget
Venue & Materials:
  • Partnering with like-minded institutions with free or discounted spaces can be beneficial.
  • If a venue does have a few, do offer reasons around why you've selected it. Is it low cost, located centrally?
  • Limit merchandise to low-cost items like stickers.
  • Keep printed banners and signs general enough for use at later events.

Travel & Meals:

  • Scholarships can include round-trip travel, shared accommodations, conference registration, and visa fees.
  • Funding for food should be limited to lunches during the conference. Coffee breaks and one group dinner can also be included.

Event Planning & Support: You may request for funding to pay for the following:

  • Travel agent fees
  • Administrative support, eg. processing visa application letters and reimbursements.
  • Paid facilitators or trainers. Do discuss this with your program officer early in the application process.
  • Planning costs, eg. meeting space and local transportation.
  • Up to 10% unforeseen expenses can be included in the request.

Alternate sources of funding:

  • In-kind donations can open doors to interesting partner organisations. These donations include goods and services rather than money, eg. free use of venues, reduced costs for meals or services.
  • Get in touch with organisations who support your work in the region, they may be valuable partners.
Step 4: Gather a strong organising team
Understanding the size of your conference will help you decide the number of volunteers necessary. The roles below can act as a guide. Additional roles can be added. Conference experience is not necessary, but can assist with momentum in planning.

Grant coordinators act as your main contact for grant support.

  • Ensure plans are on track, and provide updates grant program officers from the team.
  • Tracks the budget and collects expense documentation.

The logistics team coordinates research and confirmation of event details.

  • Including event venue, timelines, official documentation, contracts, with experience of negotiating vendors.

The conference program team coordinates the planning survey, proposal, and develops the program.

  • Collects documentation of outcomes and action items from each session.

Communications team keeps the event page updated and coordinate community engagement.

The scholarship committee manages the scholarship application process. They send a list of selected recipients to the program officer before notifying recipients.

Volunteer coordinator checks in on volunteers and keeps notes on all sessions.
