Hi everyone,

The Wikimedia Foundation Project Grants program launches its third open call today, February 13. We will be accepting proposals through March 14 for new ideas to improve Wikimedia projects. < https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:Project%3E

Funds are available to support individuals, groups and organizations to implement new experiments and proven ideas, whether focused on building a new tool or gadget, organizing a better process on your wiki, researching an important issue, coordinating an editathon series or providing other support for community-building.

Ideas from the current Inspire Campaign on developing outside knowledge networks are very welcome. < https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:IdeaLab/Inspire%3E

We will be hosting weekly proposals clinics via Hangouts for real-time discussions about the Project Grants Open Call. Links for Hangouts will be posted by tomorrow here: < https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:Project#Upcoming_events%3E

In addition, we have just launched our new tutorial videos to help guide applicants through key portions of the proposal writing process: < https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:Project/Tutorial%3E

We are excited to see your grant ideas that will support our community and make an impact on the future of Wikimedia projects. Put your idea into motion, and submit your proposal between February 13 and March 14! < https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:Project/Apply%3E

Please feel free to get in touch with me (mjohnson@wikimedia.org) or Alex Wang (awang@wikimedia.org) with questions about getting started with your project!

Warm regards,

Marti
