Comités

An important aspect of the Wikimedia Foundation’s funding programs is the role that volunteer committees have in providing both guidance and support to applicants as well as making decisions about how movement funds should be distributed. Based on the movement strategy recommendations, we maintain committees that enable communities in each region and thematic experts to have a central role in setting priorities and allocating funds for specific types of initiatives. Each of these processes benefits greatly from existing expertise, new ideas, and awareness of required skills and circumstances for local communities.

Comités regionales

Uno de los aspectos clave de la nueva estrategia es la importancia de permitir que las comunidades locales asuman más responsabilidad y se apropien de establecer las prioridades en sus regiones, asignar fondos para los tipos específicos de iniciativas y garantizar la participación de las organizaciones asociadas. Cada uno de estos procesos se beneficia en gran medida de la experiencia existente, de las nuevas ideas y del conocimiento de las competencias necesarias para las comunidades locales.

We have seven regional committees leading our participatory processes. For more information about each regional committee, please review the corresponding regional page:

• Middle East and Africa
• South Asia
• East, Southeast Asia, and Pacific (ESEAP)
• Latin America (LATAM) and The Caribbean
• United States and Canada
• Northern and Western Europe
• Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) and Central Asia

Stipend and benefits

• Stipend: The regional committee members may receive a stipend of $100 every 2 months to offset costs of participation. Stipends can be used to pay for childcare, internet, transportation and other costs that make volunteering possible
• Skill development opportunities: The regional committee members will have access to skill building opportunities, including training on topics such as conflict transformation and nonviolent communication. Through their work on the tasks, members will also learn by doing.

Other Committees

The Community Resources team also plans to develop committees for both the Wikimedia Research and Technology Fund. The two program committees will function collaboratively with the regional committees when assessing applications based in their regions. More details will be provided as we come closer to the launch of both of these two funds.
