After introducing the basics of external grantmaking in our first session,
we’re moving into one of the most practical parts of the process: finding
funding opportunities that actually fit your work.
STRENGTHEN Colloquium #2: Finding Opportunities and Mapping Strategic
Outcomes
📅 October 2, 2026
⏰ 2:00–3:30 p.m. UTC
💻 Online
In this session, we’ll focus on:
🔎 Strategies for finding relevant external funding opportunities
🗝️ Developing keywords that make funding searches more productive
🎯 Matching Wikimedia projects with funders’ missions and priorities
📈 Connecting project ideas to strategic outcomes that matter to funders
🗂️ Building a personalized prospect list of potential funders
The goal is practical: leave with a clearer strategy for finding funding
and a starting list of potential funders to pursue.
This is the second session in our 9-part STRENGTHEN colloquium series,
which is designed to move participants step-by-step through the external
grantmaking process, from developing project ideas and identifying
opportunities to building partnerships, writing proposals, and managing
grants.
Whether you're working with a Wikimedia affiliate, developing a research or
education project, organizing in your local community, or simply curious
about funding possibilities beyond the Wikimedia Foundation, we'd love to
have you join us.
