Wikimedia Community Fund

The Wikimedia Community Fund broadly supports volunteer efforts in the movement, especially those that promote knowledge equity. We emphasize the need for underrepresented communities and historically marginalized communities in the movement to have access to resources they need to accomplish their goals.

The Wikimedia Community Fund has three general areas of support:

Funds short-term, low-cost projects by Wikimedia community members – individuals, groups, affiliates, or organizations contributing to Wikimedia projects such as Wikipedia or Commons – to organize projects throughout the year.
2 months processing time; average funding amount: 500 - 5,000 USD
Funding and planning support to groups, individuals or organizations to organize local, regional, and thematic conferences that bring together Wikimedians for experience sharing, skill building, and networking.
3 months processing time; average funding amount: 10,000 - 90,000 USD
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.
3 months processing time; average funding amount: 10,000 - 300,000 USD
Flexible multi-year general operating support for individuals, groups, or affiliates that have developed 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.
2-3 year funding possible
