Dear members of the Wikimedia community,
On behalf of the Board of Trustees of the Wikimedia Foundation, I write to share the news that we have approved [1] the full slate of the FDC’s Round 1 2016-2017 recommendations [2] for the Annual Plan Grants. In this round, 11 organizations will be receiving a total of roughly US$3,210,000. Grants are made in local currency, so the USD figure is approximate.
We want to thank the Funds Dissemination Committee members and staff for the time and effort they have put into this process, as well as all members of the community who have participated in this round of analysis and deliberations. This year introduced the possibility for some organizations to apply for multi-year funding [3] (a 2-year program) for the first time. We are glad to see that this was taken into consideration by the FDC and are looking forward to learn from this pilot how the Wikimedia organizations can better support long-term programs.
Thank you to all the organizations involved in this round, and for the work that the volunteers and staff of these organizations have put in to further our mission.
We are glad to witness that our movement’s efforts to foster thoughtful planning show in the annual plans of the participating organizations and are looking forward to the next round of applications in April 2017.
Sincerely,
Dariusz, on behalf of the WMF Board of Trustees
