Hello,
Back in November at WikiConference North America 2019, we announced that
grants would be made available for projects related to strengthening
credibility and reliability in the Wikimedia space and beyond.
WikiConference North America, in collaboration with the Credibility
Coalition, MisinfoCon, and Hacks/Hackers, has announced that the WikiCred
grants program is now launching! These grants are made possible through the
generous support of Craig Newmark Philanthropies, Facebook, and Microsoft.
This initiative offers microgrants ranging between $250 and $10,000 to
individuals and teams to create and pilot projects on supporting
credibility on the internet using Wikimedia and lessons from the Wikimedia
community. Applications are accepted on a rolling basis. The first deadline
to receive funding is April 6th.
Learn more and apply here:
https://www.wikicred.org/
Please feel free to share this with people in your network who might be
interested.
If you have any questions, I recommend filling out the form at the bottom
of the website - that will send your message to the entire WikiCred team.
Cheers,
Kevin Payravi

Hi Wiki-Americans,
We talked a bit during the last call about doing a second meeting this
month, 2 weeks afterward, which would be Monday March 30. This would be
the regular time, 6pm Eastern / 9pm Pacific.
The idea is to bring people together, mutually support and strategize
during this time of isolation.
Thanks,
Richard
