Dear Wikimedia colleagues:

We are piloting the *Simple Annual Plan Grants option, for groups and 
organizations* that choose to include program and operating expenses as 
part of one application each year. We are excited to move forward with 
this new option after making some changes to this idea based on what we 
learned from the recent consultation about Reimagining WMF Grants 
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:IdeaLab/Reimagining_WMF_grants/Outcomes>.

*_Amazing benefits!_*
1. *One application*. Funding for programs, operating expenses, and 
staff all in one application for the year, to enable organizations to 
plan with better, and to show how their programs are leading to impact.
2. *Simple process.* Simpler and speedier application, review, and 
reporting processes than grants through the FDC, with more flexible 
eligibility requirements, and open to informal groups as well as 
organizations.
3. *Targeted support*. WMF will be developing more guidelines and online 
resources specifically for groups and organizations, this option will 
include more support from WMF program staff during the application 
process and during each grant, and participants will be part of a 
learning community with other groups and organizations doing similar work.

*_Join us, in creating something new together!_*

 1. */Applications from groups and organizations that need funding by 1
    January will be due 1 November. /*More applications will also be
    accepted throughout the year. You can learn more about the program
    and how to apply here:
    https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:APG/Simple. If you are
    interested, but have questions about the timing of your application,
    please contact us.
 2. If you want to review annual plan grants, we need you to join the
    committee! Add your name here if you want to help:
    https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:APG/Simple/Committee.
 3. We need your help translating the pages about the pilot, especially:
      * https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:APG/Simple
      * https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:APG/Simple/About
      * https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:APG/Simple/Eligibility (top)

Groups and organizations with annual plans will still have the option to 
request funding through the Project and Event Grants program during the 
pilot. The pilot phase will be a time to learn together, and will be 
evaluated in several stages (at least one in early 2016, and one in 
early 2017), to discover if this program benefits applicants and 
grantees. Questions, comments, and suggestions are welcome on Meta! 
We've already received some helpful suggestions, and we hope to make 
improvements as we learn.

Please contact me at wolliff at wikimedia.org 
<mailto:wolliff at wikimedia.org> with questions specific to your group or 
organization.

Best regards,

Winifred
