Dear community members,
I would like to provide you with more information on the upcoming annual Wikimedia Foundation fundraising campaign in India.
As mentioned before, the fundraising campaign will have two components.
1.
We will send emails to people who have previously donated from India. The emails are scheduled to be sent between the 2nd of May and the 1st of June. 2.
We will run banners for non-logged in users in India on English Wikipedia itself. The banners will run from the 30th of May until the 27th of June.
Prior to this, we are planning to run some tests in April and May, so you might see banners a couple of times before the campaign starts. This activity will ensure that our technical infrastructure works.
✨ We have now launched a community engagement page https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Fundraising/India2023campaign#India_fundraising_campaign_2023 where you can find more details around the campaign. We are also sharing some banner examples there and are inviting you to give feedback on the examples as well as provide your own messaging suggestions on the talk page https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Fundraising/India2023campaign.
I will also be hosting a community call https://meet.google.com/xaf-ypuf-zrr on the* 23rd of April at 19:30pm IST* to which you can also bring your questions and suggestions.
Generally, before and during the campaign, you can contact us:
