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:
-
On the talk page of the fundraising team
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Fundraising>
-
If you need to report a bug or technical issue, please create a
phabricator ticket
<https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/maniphest/task/edit/form/1/?template=118862>
-
If you see a donor on a talk page, VRT
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Volunteer_Response_Team> or
social media having difficulties in donating, please refer them to donate[image:

Thanks you and regards,
Julia
