 | The MSIG grant is undergoing updates to its approach and management. To enhance the impact of Movement Strategy, these funds will be focused on specific strategic initiatives related to Movement structures such as Hubs. While the Wikimedia Foundation teams work on these changes, we will not be accepting new applications until further notice. If you are interested in applying for a different grant, please visit the Wikimedia Foundation Grants page to learn more. Please reach out to the Community Development team at strategy2030  wikimedia.org if you have specific questions about MSIG. |
A strong proposal is clearly outlined and demonstrates a good knowledge of the current status of the initiative it is seeking to implement. Here are a few examples. They show what kinds of plans are most likely to be funded, as well as the level of detail expected for each application.
There is no requirement to follow any of these examples: They can be a starting point or a reference to help you formulate your own grant request. Your grant request should both meet the grants criteria (with which the examples can help), as well as your own unique goals.
