reviewing proposals
Open discussion and evaluation of proposals brings multiple perspectives to the selection process. Funding limits the number of grantees in each round, and proposals are carefully reviewed according to selection criteria.
The Wikimedia community's input helps WMF and the Individual Engagement Grants Committee understand if a project will be supported by the people it aims to serve.
You can get involved by reading through open proposals and posting feedback, questions, concerns, or suggestions on a proposal’s talk page. To recommend a proposal for selection, submit an endorsement in the space provided on the proposal page.

You can help grow ideas into action by getting involved in the IdeaLab.
serve on the review committee
We rely on a committee of volunteers from the Wikimedia community to recommend proposals for funding.
We enjoy a large committee and do not run elections. Those who are determined to meet the criteria are invited to become members during an open call period each year. Membership is for a 1-year term, which may be renewable.
To be considered for membership:
1. Review the membership criteria and make sure you meet them.
2. Review the committee's tasks and make sure you're willing and able to fulfill them (we'll show you how!).
3. Add your name to the list of candidates. Please include a brief statement about your background and Wikimedia involvement, demonstrating how you meet the criteria.
1. Provide feedback on grant proposals: Check on new ideas, drafts and proposals, engaging in talk page discussions to help improve them and asking questions to ensure that sufficient information is provided and that goals and estimates are realistic.
2. Review finalized proposals: Read and research submissions, join a working group to score proposals according to rubric determined by selection criteria and give feedback to applicants.
3. Recommend proposals for funding: Recommend a shortlist of proposals for funding to WMF staff based on the available budget.
Mandatory:
- Experience with the Wikimedia movement and at least one Wikimedia project.
- Experience with some aspect of Wikimedia programmatic or project-based work, e.g. editor engagement, WikiProjects or other on-wiki organizing processes, outreach, events, partnerships, research, education, gadget or bot-building, etc.
- Ability to edit basic wiki-markup (grant proposal discussions are largely conducted on meta-wiki).
- Reasonable facility with English, for reviewing and discussing grant proposals.
- In good community- and legal- standing (not currently blocked or banned, involved in allegations of unethical financial behavior, etc).
- Availability to actively engage in the selection process during the published schedule for that round (time commitment is about 3 hours per week, plus 1 extra day for scoring).
Preferable:
- Experience leading, coordinating, or managing projects with an intended on-wiki or online impact.
- Experience handling externally provided money and working within budgets, preferably in a non-profit context.
- Experience applying for grants or working in grants programs (in the Wikimedia, academic, or wider non-profit world).
- Ability to read and write in multiple languages.
Pieņemams:
- Members may apply for an Individual Engagement Grant themselves, but they will recuse themselves from reviewing proposals in the same category as their own during that round.
- Membership does not conflict with membership in other Wikimedia committees, including the Grant Advisory Committee or the Wikimania Scholarships Committee.

Committee members finalized: 30 September
Community comment requested: 30 September–19 October
Committee review: 20 October – 2 November
Grantees announced: 4 December
2015Grants disbursed: December 2015 – January 2016
Welcome, new grantees! Please read everything below to learn how to launch your project, learn how payments work, become familiar with your reporting responsibilities, and what to do if you need more time. Please review the program rules. Then follow the instructions to get your project started!
- 1. solis - Granta līgums
Before the grant can be approved, grantees must confirm the terms of the grant and provide their full legal name, address and date of birth for everyone listed on the bank account to which the grant will be disbursed. A request for this information will be emailed to you by WMF staff.
- Step 2 - Project page setup
Your grant proposal will now become a living plan for your project. Staff will update your proposal page with navigation to additional pages you'll need for documenting your project once it begins. Please visit your proposal and use the buttons to create all of your project pages. You should keep these pages up-to-date as much as possible as your project progresses. This documentation will help everyone to share in your progress and experiences over the course of the grant.
The total amount of your approved budget is listed in your grant agreement, and the approved use of funds for each line-item is detailed on your project finances page. We know that some details and expenses may change as your project progresses. That is ok, as long as you keep us updated and request approval for significant changes during the grant period, as follows:
- Please use the button provided on your project finances page to request approval for any changes to the planned use of funds as your project progresses. Staff will reply there to confirm approval or request additional information.
- Approval is required to make changes to any budget line-item with a variance greater than 20% for budgets of up to US$15,000, and 10% for budgets more than US$15,000 (or the equivalents in foreign currency).
Grant disbursements are made to the grantee’s account using a payment processing service or wire transfer as agreed upon in the grant agreement. Disbursements can take up to 30 days to be received. Remember that you are responsible for any tax associated with your receipt of the grant funds in your country.
Your disbursement will come in 2 equal installments:
- After you sign and return the grant agreement.
- After your midpoint report is received and approved.
Grantu saņēmēji ir atbildīgi par sekošanu granta līdzekļu izmantošanai un tās dokumentēšanu šādā formātā:
- Receipts or other documentation must be kept by the grantee for reporting and review purposes, and grantees should follow WMF Grants guidelines for documenting project expenses.
- Copies of receipts and documentation should be scanned and emailed to IEGrants wikimedia.org when the project report is submitted to Meta-Wiki.
- Any funds that are not used in agreement with the approved budget must be returned to WMF along with the final grant report, within 30 days after the end of the grant. Grantees should follow the WMF Grants program instructions for returning funds.
Our focus with reporting is to share lessons and insights gained from the project and to measure impact. Lessons learned through these reports will be used to share best practices with the broader Wikimedia community. Reports must be published on Meta-Wiki as part of the grantee's project pages. They will be reviewed by IEG staff within 30 days of submission, and may be commented on by staff, committee members, and the community. To be accepted, reports must be complete and accurate.
monthly updates
A brief project update is requested each month to share your progress and lessons learned along the way. These updates should be created and linked from your project's progress page on Meta-Wiki at the end of each month.
The format these updates take is up to you. Aim for something suited to your project that you’ll enjoy doing!
Ikmēneša ziņojumu formāti:
- wiki apkārtraksts vai žurnāls
- bloga ieraksts
- YouTube video
- podkāsts
- annotēts produkta demo
- suggest something else, we're likely to approve it as long as it shares what you're doing or learning along the way!
The Head of Individual Engagement Grants will schedule a monthly check-in with each project team, to assess and support needs as a project progresses.
A midpoint report demonstrating progress and lessons learned thus far must be submitted on Meta-Wiki. This report is is due within 15 days after three months of the grant's start date.
To create your midpoint report, use the "Start your Midpoint" button from your IEGrant project page.
A final report on the project’s outcomes, lessons, and impact assessment as measured against the project's targets and goals, must be submitted on Meta-Wiki. This report is is due within 30 days after the grant's end date.
To create your final report, use the "Start your Final" button from your IEGrant project page.
Grantees are encouraged to attend Wikimania or other movement gatherings to present findings to the community, in addition to providing the above written documentation.
To help the WMF learn about and improve its grantmaking programs, grantees are asked to complete occasional surveys during and after the grant period and to participate in longer-term follow-up interviews.
We know that occasionally something happens and more time may be needed to complete your project than expected. That is ok, as long as you keep us updated and request approval for significant changes.
If your final report is due but you need more time, please use the button provided on your timeline page to request an extension. Staff will reply there to confirm approval or request additional information.
Projects that demonstrate strong potential for impact and need for further funding may be considered for a renewal grant of six additional months.
- If you see need for continued funding, discuss this with the your program officer or other advisors during project check-ins.
- In the final grant report, you'll find a button to submit a renewal request. This should be created as soon after you submit the final report as possible.
- Renewals should include a plan for the second six months, with clear scope, budget, and measures of success.
- Staff will reply on the renewal request to confirm approval or request additional information.

programmas noteikumi
- You are welcome to submit a proposal in any language. If you plan to submit in a language other than English, we'd encourage you to complete your proposal as early as possible to ensure time for translation. If you have questions about submitting a grant request in a language other than English, please contact us to discuss.
- IEG grants are considered taxable income in the US for residents of that country, and may be taxable under local laws for those residing in other countries. Grantees are solely responsible for paying all taxes on the grant amount, and are encouraged to learn about tax regulations in their country before accepting a grant.
- Each individual on a project team is considered a grantee and must sign an individual grant agreement and receive their own portion of the grant disbursement. However, reporting should be completed together as a team.
- Grants can be disbursed in the local currency or US dollars. To prevent losses incurred from wire transfer fees, currency exchange, or other bank fees, it is recommended that you document and include your expected loss in the budget of your original grant proposal.
- Grants are generally disbursed in two lump sums: half at the start of the grant, approximately three to four weeks after all disbursement details have been received by WMF, and half on the grantee's completion of a midpoint project report.
- Granta saņēmēja vārds un adrese nav publiski jāizpauž, bet līdzekļu piešķiršanas gadījumā WMF pārstāvjiem ir jāuzrāda derīgs valdības izdots personu apliecinošs dokuments ar fotogrāfiju.
- As a US-based funder, WMF must comply with the Office of Foreign Assets Control. Proposers are encouraged to check this list for information about restrictions for their country, and contact us if you have questions.
- Grantu saņēmējiem, kuri ir jaunāki par 18 gadiem, ir jābūt pilnvarotam pārstāvim, kurš darbojas kā fiskālais sponsors, parakstot līgumus un saņemot līdzekļus granta saņēmēja vārdā.
- Grants are intended to support volunteers in the Wikimedia movement. Paid WMF staff, Wikimedia chapters and thematic organizations, and WMF grantee organizations are not eligible for these grants. In occasional cases where the committee may decide to recommend a grant to a community member who is currently engaged as a contractor with one of these organizations, the contractor's engagement must not be for more than 20 hours/week.
