Dear Friends/Wikimedians,
The Community Resources team is reviewing its current grants programs
(Annual Plan Grants, Simple Annual Plan Grants, Project Grants and Rapid
Grants) to ensure we are aligning with the strategic direction, with a
focus on equity and building a thriving movement. The redesign process will
take into consideration the Movement Strategy recommendations and
discussions around the recommendations. It will integrate direct feedback
from applicants and grantees that we have received over the past five
years. It will also continue to seek feedback from community members as it
is developed.
We want to move towards implementing and learning new models for grant
programs that will feed into the broader resource allocation discussion of
the Global Council.
In this redesign process, we are examining:
-
Our role as a team to support communities and the movement
-
Our processes: applications, reporting, metrics, and participatory
decision-making processes and their alignment with equity
-
Our programs and understanding of what are the needs we are addressing,
and what elements are missing to achieve the strategic direction.
We invite all of you to join us on this journey. On the Meta-Wiki page [1],
there is an overview and timeline for the grants redesign process. We will
host office hours for multiple time zones in January 2021 to answer any
questions about the redesign process [2].
In February 2021, we will post a proposal for the new grants strategy. We
will invite you to review the proposed ideas. You will be able to provide
feedback on proposed grant programs on-wiki and through other channels.
Information about participating will be shared on the Meta-Wiki page [1].
When the feedback period is over, the Community Resources team will review
all community input and make final adjustments to complete the redesign. In
March 2020, the Community Resources team will review and incorporate
suggested changes and send a final proposal for endorsement and approval by
the leadership of the Wikimedia Foundation. Working together with you is
essential so that together we create grant programs that are useful and
address real needs for our communities. We look forward to engaging in this
next step and to hearing your ideas.
On behalf of the Community Resources team,
Kassia

Hi everyone,
We are officially one week away from Wikipedia’s 20th birthday! 🎉 Please
see below for the latest updates about the celebration and ways to support
and participate:
Virtual birthday party
For Wikipedia's 20th birthday party [1] on 15 January, we'd love to hear
from you, highlight your work, and have your help to spread the word. Here
is how to get involved:
1.
Record a video saying “Happy Birthday” or birthday wishes for Wikipedia
in your language for our birthday video montage. You can record and
submit a short clip (under 30 seconds) via your phone or computer by going
to the Tribute webpage [2]. The deadline to submit a video is 12 January.
*
2.
If you have a Wikimedia-related fun fact or accomplishment from the
movement that you would like us to highlight in the celebration, please add
it to the talk page on Meta [3], and we’ll highlight these during the
celebration.
3.
Invite your followers to the event on social media. Here’s a sample post
to adapt for your channels: Happy early 20th birthday to @Wikipedia, the
world's largest free online encyclopedia! Join us at their virtual party on
Friday, 15 January to celebrate Wikipedia and the people who make it
possible. Details: link

#Wikipedia20
Happy birthday videos to use at your event!
Check out the Meta page [4] for multiple resources that you can use for
your local birthday celebrations, including a birthday video message [5] from
Wikimedia Foundation Executive Director Katherine Maher and video clips of
happy birthday in multiple languages.
Social media: #Wikipedia20
Visit the updated social media section on Meta [6] for posts to share on
your channels before and on 15 January. These are the main things to know:
-
Please use #Wikipedia20 and tag @Wikipedia in all posts so we can help
share them
-
Before 15 January, we would greatly appreciate your help in spreading
the word about the virtual event [1]
-
On 15 January, the Wikimedia Foundation will officially begin
celebrating Wikipedia Day at 7:00 am UTC [7]. You can see our content
plans on Meta. Please retweet and share our posts.
-
On 15 January, please send Wikipedia a happy birthday message and
encourage your followers to do the same. Link to the commemorative website (
20.wikipedia.org) and include celebratory graphics [8].
-
If you would like additional amplification from the Wikimedia and/or
Wikipedia social media accounts of materials you are sharing, please
complete this form [9] with the relevant details.
FYI — paid video promotions
The Foundation will also be promoting videos that celebrate the birthday
through paid digital media on a variety of non-Wikimedia websites. These
will start on 15 January and continue for about four weeks. The plan is to
reach existing Wikipedia readers in Nigeria and the United States with the
following two goals:
1.
To inform them about the Wikimedia movement, broadly defined
2.
To increase awareness of the humans that power the Wikimedia sites
As a reminder, you can stay up-to-date by watching the Wikipedia 20
discussion page [10], and joining the Facebook group [11] and Telegram
group [12].
If you have questions, please email wikipedia20(a)wikimedia.org or use the
discussion page [10].
We are so excited to celebrate with you next week!
Samir + the entire Wikipedia 20 team

https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/WikiMentor. I think it'll be helpful for a
lot of users, who need help in a lot of things. Contact me if you have any
questions. - BlackWidowMovie0
