Hi all,

The Wikimedia Foundation and the Individual Engagement Grants Committee invite you to submit proposals for grants of up to $30,000 to support 6-month projects that improve the Wikimedia community. These grants fund individuals or small teams to organize, build, create, research or facilitate something that enhances the work of Wikimedia’s volunteers.

The deadline to submit a proposal for this round is 30 September 2013: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:IEG

We’re also seeking new committee members to help review and recommend proposals for funding. The round 2 committee will be finalized 31 August 2013:
