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
