Welcome to Wikimedia Foundation Funds!

The Wikimedia Foundation supports individuals and organizations around the world to increase the diversity, reach, quality, and quantity of free knowledge. We promote knowledge equity aligned with the strategic direction of the Wikimedia movement. Our funding programs are focused on decentralized decision-making, regional committees, and reaching underrepresented communities.

Our people-centred approach is built on the principles of equity & empowerment, collaboration & cooperation, and the promotion of innovation and learning. We have several funding programs which support individuals and organizations: the Wikimedia Community Fund: Rapid Fund, Conference & Event Fund, General Support Fund and Wikimedia Research Fund.
