Hi everyone,

(Apologies for cross-posting.)

As part of the upcoming celebrations surrounding Wikipedia's 20th birthday[1], the Wikimedia Foundation is publishing a short optional survey[2] that will help us understand the needs of people who would like to host a birthday event. The survey is expected to take three to five minutes to fill in and will remain open until 23:59 UTC on Wednesday, 30 September 2020.

Before taking the survey, please review the privacy statement policy[3].

We would also like to announce that the Foundation will be supporting Wikipedia 20 anniversary celebration events through multiple grant programs:

* Rapid Grants[4] to support celebration events up to 2000 USD.

* Additional funding for Conference & Events grantees (e.g. for a regional or thematic conference) who wish to incorporate a celebration event to an existing conference.

* Conference & Event Grants[5] to support celebration events for more than 2000 USD.*

*Round one applications for conference & event grants [5] is now open until 28 September 2020.

On behalf of the Wikipedia 20 team, Samir Elsharbaty
