Re: [Wikimedia-l] Report of grants given out by the Wikimedia Foundation in 2019−2020

Thanks for calling this out and working on this aspect, Kassia!

A critical bottleneck for supporting emerging communities is a plan for
comprehensive regional microgrant programs, run through affiliate groups.
We should set these up where they don't exist so as to cover the world.

Re: [Wikimedia-l] Report of grants given out by the Wikimedia Foundation in 2019−2020

2021-03-31 Thread Kassia Echavarri-Queen 
Dear Wikimedians,

The report created by my colleagues in the Advancement Team is useful for
providing aggregated data on the distribution of grants since 2016 and has
helped the Community Resources team understand where we stand today in
terms of equity. The current grants have seen an increase in access from
emerging Wikimedia communities. However, the distribution of funds to those
communities is still lagging far behind. With the relaunch of the Grants
strategy

we will work towards overcoming this challenge and shape an equitable
future for the distribution of grants resources across the movement.

The information from this report has been analyzed and already incorporated
into the current grants strategy relaunch process. In the newly proposed
grants strategy a priority is to substantially increase funding in emerging
communities also taking into account the need for peer learning and
knowledge sharing. The feedback period is still open, please help the
grants relaunch process by letting us know how to adapt and improve the
strategy.

The new grants strategy is aligned with the strategic direction of the
movement and is founded on the principles

of Subsidiarity & Self management, Equity & Empowerment, Collaboration &
Cooperation, and People Centeredness, as well as efficient data and
iterative practices. This has grounded our approach in the values
identified by the movement.

We are grateful to all the community members who have already helped to
enrich this strategy relaunch. Please come to the grants meta page to
engage, learn more about the proposed changes, and to provide your
feedback.The month of feedback on the new grants strategy proposal will
come to a close Monday April 5th, 2021.

All the best,
Kassia Echavarri-Queen

[Wikimedia-l] Report of grants given out by the Wikimedia Foundation in 2019−2020

2021-03-31 Thread Guillaume Paumier 
Hi folks,

I wanted to share the link to a report covering grants given out by the
Wikimedia Foundation during the 2019−2020 fiscal year. This was inspired by
the Fundraising reports that fundraising teams have prepared for many
years. The intent is to publish similar yearly reports for grantmaking
going forward.

Questions and comments are welcome, preferably on the talk page.
