Hi all,

The Wikimedia Foundation and the Individual Engagement Grants Committee
invite you to submit and review proposals for community-led experiments to
improve Wikimedia!

Individual Engagement Grants support individuals and small teams to
organize projects for 6 months. You can get funding to turn your idea for
improving Wikimedia projects into action, with a grant for online community
organizing, outreach and partnerships, tool-building, or research. Funding
is available for a few hundred dollars up to $30,000.

Proposals for this round are due 31 March 2014:

We're also seeking new committee members to help review and recommend
proposals for funding. Candidates are invited to sign up by 9 March 2014:

Some examples of projects we've funded in the past:

*Organizing social media for Chinese Wikipedia ($350 for materials)[1]

*Improving gadgets for Visual Editor ($4500 for developers)[2]

*Coordinating free access to reliable sources for Wikipedians ($7500 for
project management, consultants and materials)[3]

*Building community and strategy for Wikisource (EURO 10000 for
organizing and
travel)[4]

You can read more on the WMF blog:

Hope to have your participation in this round!

Best wishes,

Siko
