Dear all
The Wikimedia Foundation Community Resources team is setting up new
Regional Committees for Grants, as part of their grants strategy relaunch
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Community_Resources/Grants_Strategy_Relaunch_2020-2021>.
They encourage Wikimedians and free knowledge advocates to be part of these
committees, which will act as key strategic thought partners to help
understand the complexities of any region, provide knowledge and expertise
to applicants, support successful movement activities and make funding
decisions for grant applications in the region. Committees will be
established for the following regions:
- Middle East and Africa
- SAARC region (Includes Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, the
Maldives, Nepal, Pakistan and Sri Lanka)
- East, Southeast Asia, and Pacific (ESEAP) region
- Latin America (LATAM) and The Caribbean
- United States and Canada
- Northern and Western Europe
- Central and Eastern Europe (CEE)
All details about the Committees and how to apply can be found on meta here
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Community_Resources/Grants_Strategy_Relaunch_2020-2021/Regional_Committees#How_to_apply>.
The deadline is 4th June. If you have questions or comments, the grants
team at the Foundation asks that you add them to the discussion page for
the relaunch (link above).
Best wishes
Lucy
