i’m thinking of projects that have already proven useful on the labs
tool server or elsewhere that help move the wiki community forward.
i may be wrong, but it seems that many developers volunteer their time
and create some amazing projects for the wiki domain without being
paid. they may not have the skill or time to properly apply for grants
or other sources of funding. so i’m wondering if there is a way to
turn this around or if something like already exists ... instead of
having to write a grant requests and/or seeking other forms of
funding, establish a grant or funding committee that looks for
projects and developers that have proven helpful and have added value
to the community. then award them with funding without them having to
ask for it.

That depends on what kind of project you have in mind,
and I'm not sure
what you mean by post-project funding. If you are thinking about continuing
or expanding an existing program that has proven useful then there may be
funding available. Try
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:Start to get
some ideas. You could also consider applying for funding from Wikimedia
thematic organizations.

does anyone know if there is a method for
applying for post project
funding within the wikiverse or if there is a committee that awards a
project after it has proven itself useful?
with kind regards,
