[Labs-l] Individual Engagement Grant funding available

[Pine W]

Forwarding from Siko Bouterse:

Greetings! The Wikimedia Foundation Individual Engagement Grants program is
accepting proposals for funding new experiments from September 1st to 30th.
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:IEG>

Your idea can improve Wikimedia projects by building a new tool or gadget,
organizing a better process on your wiki, conducting research on an
important issue, or providing other support for community-building. Whether
you need $200 or $30,000 USD, Individual Engagement Grants can cover your
own project development time in addition to funding for a team to help you.
The program has a flexible schedule and reporting structure, and
Grantmaking staff are there to support you through all stages of the
process.

Do you have have a good idea, but you are worried that it isn’t developed
enough for a grant?  Put it into the IdeaLab, where volunteers and staff
can give you advice and guidance on how to bring it to life. <

three Hangout Sessions for real-time discussions to help you make your
proposal better - the first will happen on September 16th. <
