are piloting the <b>Simple Annual Plan Grants option, for
groups and organizations</b> 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
<a

recent consultation about Reimagining WMF Grants</a>.</div>

informal groups as well as organizations.</div>

<b>Targeted support</b>. 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.</div>

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. </div>
