Hi all,
The Wikimedia Foundation and the Individual Engagement Grants Committee invite you to submit and review proposals for community-led experiments to improve Wikimedia!
Individual Engagement Grants support individuals and small teams to organize projects for 6 months. You can get funding to turn your idea for improving Wikimedia projects into action, with a grant for online community organizing, outreach and partnerships, tool-building, or research. Funding is available for a few hundred dollars up to $30,000.
Proposals for this round are due 31 March 2014:

We're also seeking new committee members to help review and recommend proposals for funding. Candidates are invited to sign up by 9 March 2014:
