Please take a look at the meta-discussion of an upcoming UNESCO grant which is relevant to Wikimedia: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants/IFAP

This particular grant targets proposals which * Promote information literacy, particularly by training information professionals * Strengthen awareness about the importance of preservation of information * Promote better understanding of the ethical, legal and societal implications of ICTs

(ICTs : Information and Communication Technologies)

Since in addition to creating fantastic content, Wikipedia is a source of practical evangelism about the advantages of open licenses and open access -- particularly as open access relates to empowering people to preserve information -- we have a good match for the first two of these goals.

Thoughts on how we should approach this grant are welcome. Note, unfortunately, the near deadline : February 20. On the upside, the application they require is very short and general; filling out a short web form (perhaps only the first stage of the approval process). The components of the web form are also listed on the meta: page above.
