GLAMTLV2018/Submissions/Beyond Money: The Wikimedia Role of Grant-Makers
This is an Open submission for GLAM TLV Conference 2018 that has not yet been reviewed by the members of the Program Committee. |
The role of grant-makers goes beyond money. Grant-makers (foundations, public administrations, agencies...) influence the entire cultural and non profit sector through their power-dynamics, action-driven communication tools (based on guidelines and application forms), keywords, approaches, networks and programs. This presentation wants to trigger the involvement of grant-makers in contributing to the Wikimedia projects, because they are key stakeholders with the capacity of innescate a domino effect among thousands of GLAMs.

- Abstract
The presentation does not follow up on the presentation planned at Wikimania 2018 related to the creation of a Manifesto for foundations/grant-makers (- the proposal was rejected with the explication that Achal Prabhala and Iolanda Pensa were unlikely to implement it because too difficult).
- What will attendees take away from this session?
With this presentation I aim at convincing Wikimedia chapters and active WikiGLAM contributors to focus on grant-makers as key stakeholders in WikiGLAM projects. More specifically the presentation aims at highlights
- Why grant-makers are key stakeholders of WikiGLAM projects.
- How grant-makers can produce a determinant impact on the Wikimedia projects (and why they should be interested).
- Which grant-makers are already involved in contributing to the Wikimedia projects.
- Slides or further information
- Grantmakers and Wikimedia
- Special requests
