Invitation to the Community Resources Grants Strategy Relaunch 2020-2021
by Kassia Echavarri-Queen 09 Jan '21

09 Jan '21

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.

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 <https://diff.wikimedia.org/2021/01/01/you-are-invited-to-wikipedias-20th-bi…> #Wikipedia20 Happy birthday videos to use at your event!

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].
