[Wikimedia-l] [Wikimedia Announcements] WMF Round 1 2014 Individual Engagement Grantees

[Harold Hidalgo]

Today we’re announcing the latest round of Individual Engagement Grantees.
These grants from the Wikimedia Foundation support individuals and small
teams of Wikimedians to experiment with new ideas aimed at having online
impact.[1]

This round, the IEG committee recommended and WMF approved 12 projects led
by 16 grantees with countless volunteer participants from around the world.
For the first time, Individual Engagement Grants are funding mobile app
development, Wikipedia research, and projects aimed at improving Wikivoyage
and Wiktionary.
