General information edit
This form is for organizations, groups, or individuals receiving multi-year Wikimedia Community Funds to report on their yearly results.
- Name of Organization: Black Lunch Table
- Title of Proposal: Black Lunch Table in 2022 and Beyond
Part 1 Understanding your work edit
1. Briefly describe how your proposed activities and strategies were implemented.
- On Wiki, our work is achieved regularly through a group of six programs. At the top of the year, we schedule a calendar of activities and supplement it as we develop and return to partnerships to host additional programs.
Office hours, BLT Live, and BLT Bingo have regular intervals, occurring monthly or bi-monthly, through which our audience can expect new content and the opportunity to engage with BLT. We advertise our events on our Wikipedia page, Meta page, our link tree, and our website. When partnered with an organization, we share event information with that specific community as determined by the host. They know their community best and help to guide whether flyers, local advertisements, campus mailers, etc., are the best method of communication.
We focused heavily on improving our social media presence. Posting more regularly on our feed and in stories and refining our organization's visual presentation, especially on Instagram. Our goal was to raise the profile of our events/organization, which would translate into interactions with our account and participation in events. We increased our followers on IG by nearly 1000 people, an increase of 25% from the beginning of the year.
One of our more popular programs is our BLT Photo Booth. We found that partners seek out this program throughout the pandemic and after. It has a light footprint and is more straightforward and more approachable as a program to execute. In 2022 we finalized our SOP for our Photo Booths. This SOP included the creation of a kit that we send to all hosts. Because a BLT team member is only sometimes present for these events, we want to ensure the hosts are well prepared. We send permission forms, instructions, swag, information about the org, and signage for the hosts to use. We plan to formalize the SOPs for all our Wiki programs over the next term.
2. Were there any strategies or approaches that you felt were effective in achieving your goals?
- We are in service of artists at BLT in many ways. On Wiki, potential editors, curious readers, and others must be aware of the artists we target in the knowledge gap. Our BLT Bingo campaign and BLT Live are very effective at bringing attention to who those artists are. Further, we offer information that would help potential editors make that change to an underrepresented artist's page by sharing a recent article or citation that they can use as a springboard.
Participation was essential for thinking about our work in 2022, first, with our Regional Proxy partnerships. Last year we shifted how and with whom we engaged and were able to begin partnerships more through content alignment than in the past. This year's proxies were chosen through region and content, creating a greater alignment of communities and priorities. In the past, we focused more on areas we hoped to begin to build a BLT presence. This refinement generally made the work with proxies smoother and showed more progress toward our content goals. What this meant for our international proxies in 2022 was that the work they were already doing and interested in with their communities was more aligned with BLT priorities than in the past, resulting in better outcomes for our goals.
Second, BLT also focused on participation through the lens of social media. Improvement of brand identity/social media posting was essential for us. We increased our recognisability in a hectic space, posted on our feed and stories regularly, and had online interactions that we hoped would seed future opportunities. We did see successes, but unfortunately, at the end of 2022, our Communications Specialist departed the team. While we continue to post and generate new social content, it has slowed some due to this departure. We expect to bring on a new communications specialist before the end of Q2.
3. Would you say that your project had any innovations? Are there things that you did very differently than you have seen them done by others?
- Begun in 2021 and culminating in spring 2023, we marked our first Wikimedia Fellowship in partnership with Pace Gallery. The fellowship would be a unique short-term contract position that would work on-site at Pace Gallery New York and remotely with Black Lunch Table to improve the presence of artists’ biographies and related topics on multiple Wikimedia platforms. The Wikimedia Fellow had access to Pace’s library and archive holdings and would develop a focus suited to their interests and improve existing Wikipedia articles and items accordingly. The fellowship concluded with a related exhibition.
With much focus on Black artists, it was essential for BLT to be able to partner with an institution such as Pace Gallery, whose reach is more significant than our own, in service of diversifying voices and raising awareness about our particular knowledge gap and will continue to be an essential stride in the kind of work we do to shape contributions and understanding around Black artists on Wiki.
4. Please describe how different communities participated and/or were informed about your work.
- Black Lunch Table’s focus has always been to bring in new audiences and existing editors to work towards closing the knowledge gap around Black artists and creative workers on Wikipedia.
In 2022 we connected with students and faculty, especially at the college level, through our partnerships. We hosted edit-a-thons and Photo Booths in Calgary, Canada, at Alberta University of the Arts and Fashion Institute of Technology in New York. In both these instances, we captured images of young artists and cultural workers to add to Wikicommons and bring new editors into the fold. Our presentation at the annual conference of the Art Libraries Society of North America in April of 2022 put us in touch with many faculty and staff at universities across the States.
With our focus on social media, our followers and extended network were more informed about Black artists in 2022. Through BLT Live and BLT Bingo campaigns, we brought our followers more information about the work, exhibitions, and biographies of Black artists. We post nearly daily tweets about artists on that month’s Bingo card on Twitter. The artists we highlight benefit from the visibility and the improvement of their Wiki presence. Our followers are informed about those in the knowledge gap whose pages they can improve.

Part 2: Your main learning edit
8. In your application, you outlined your learning priorities. What did you learn about these areas during this period?
- Two of the core questions or learning priorities we asked were why BLT needed to be an artist project and what does it mean that we are inviting artists and cultural workers to write their history?
The realization of our Wikipedia Fellowship in late 2022 confirmed the importance of artist projects working at the crossroads of culture, Wikipedia(information platforms), and the traditional spaces that artists inhabit. At this crossroads, we were able to bring attention to and critique an art world reality beyond dispute; the underrepresentation of Black artists in the field.
Our Fellow’s exhibition [action=query]: Black Arts and Black Aesthetics begins with the work of a previously underrepresented scholar in her own time, Carolyn Fowler. Fowler created a bibliography of relevant topics and persons within the Black arts and aesthetics categories as a scholar. Remarkably, this bibliography functions similarly to BLT’s growing task list of Black artists whose pages need to be created or updated on Wikipedia.
Through this fellowship with Pace, we can affirm the importance of workers in the field actively forming the bounds of knowledge gaps on and off Wikipedia. We believe a show such as this, drawing attention positively to Black artists showcased at Pace that also has an underlying criticality about the percentage of Black artists represented in the exhibition history, could not have been realized by an organization or Fellow from outside the field.
9. Did anything unexpected or surprising happen when implementing your activities?
- No.
10. How do you hope to use this learning? For instance, do you have any new priorities, ideas for activities, or goals for the future?
- We expect to continue our Wikimedia Fellowship at least through the life of this grant. We are still determining whether it will have another iteration with Pace Gallery or if we will partner with another organization, and the fellowship will take another shape.
Whichever way it goes for 2023 forward, we have built a foundation for what it takes to execute such a program. We have a clearer sense of what it takes for both partners and more information about sharing those responsibilities between organizations with different strengths. We think the Wikimedia Fellowship could be very effective in an academic/pedagogical setting. Working with students and faculty to educate and improve the biographies around associated Black artists could be eye-opening, especially for young people earlier in their lives.
The initial occurrence of any program is crucial for its continuation, and this primary happening also reveals an organization's abilities or shortcomings. As a small organization with many transitions and challenges in the last year, we were proud of bringing the Wikimedia Fellowship into reality and excited to see where it could take us.
11. If you were sitting with a friend to tell them one thing about your work during this fund, what would it be (think of inspiring or fascinating moments, tough challenges, interesting anecdotes, or anything that feels important to you)?
12. Please share resources that would be useful to share with other Wikimedia organizations so that they can learn from, adapt or build upon your work. For instance, guides, training material, presentations, work processes, or any other material the team has created to document and transfer knowledge about your work and can be useful for others. Please share any specific resources that you are creating, adapting/contextualizing in ways that are unique to your context (i.e. training material).

Part 4: Organizational capacities & partnerships edit
17. Organizational Capacity
| A. Financial capacity and management | This capacity has grown but it should be further developed |
| B. Conflict management or transformation | This capacity is low, and we should prioritise developing it |
| C. Leadership (i.e growing in potential leaders, leadership that fit organizational needs and values) | This capacity has grown but it should be further developed |
| D. Partnership building | This capacity has grown but it should be further developed |
| E. Strategic planning | This has grown over the last year, the capacity is high |
| F. Program design, implementation, and management | This has grown over the last year, the capacity is high |
| G. Scoping and testing new approaches, innovation | This capacity is low, and we should prioritise developing it |
| H. Recruiting new contributors (volunteer) | This capacity has grown but it should be further developed |
| I. Support and growth path for different types of contributors (volunteers) | This capacity is low, and we should prioritise developing it |
| J. Governance | This capacity has grown but it should be further developed |
| K. Communications, marketing, and social media | This has grown over the last year, the capacity is high |
| L. Staffing - hiring, monitoring, supporting in the areas needed for program implementation and sustainability | This capacity has grown but it should be further developed |
| M. On-wiki technical skills | This capacity has grown but it should be further developed |
| N. Accessing and using data | This capacity has grown but it should be further developed |
| O. Evaluating and learning from our work | This capacity has grown but it should be further developed |
| P. Communicating and sharing what we learn with our peers and other stakeholders | |
| N/A | |
| N/A |
17a. Which of the following factors most helped you to build capacities? Please pick a MAXIMUM of the three most relevant factors.
- Formal training provided by the Wikimedia Foundation, Peer to peer learning with other community members in community/ies of practice* (structured and continuous learning and sharing spaces)
17b. Which of the following factors hindered your ability to build capacities? Please pick a MAXIMUM of the three most relevant factors.
- Lack of staff time to participate in capacity building/training
18. Is there anything else you would like to share about how your organizational capacity has grown, and areas where you require support?
- N/A
19. Partnerships over the funding period.
| A. We built strategic partnerships with other institutions or groups that will help us grow in the medium term (3 year time frame) | Agree |
| B. The partnerships we built with other institutions or groups helped to bring in more contributors from underrepresented groups | Neither agree nor disagree |
| C. The partnerships we built with other institutions or groups helped to build out more content on underrepresented topics/groups | Agree |
19a. Which of the following factors most helped you to build partnerships? Please pick a MAXIMUM of the three most relevant factors.
- Permanent staff outreach, Staff hired through the fund, Partners proactive interest
19b. Which of the following factors hindered your ability to build partnerships? Please pick a MAXIMUM of the three most relevant factors.
- Lack of staff to conduct outreach to new strategic partners
20. Please share your learning about strategies to build partnerships with other institutions and groups and any other learning about working with partners?
- Regarding our BLT Photo Booth. Wikimedia commons is a less utilized platform than Wikipedia, and understanding the space, image gaps, and challenges would be a great place to start. Correctly licensing photos for Wiki Commons is also crucial and more nuanced than other space's guidelines, especially regarding artists and their work. We recommend that whoever guides new editors to upload images be knowledgeable about these issues. Categories are an essential tool on Wiki Commons, as are upload tools like Flickr2commons.
Part 5: Sense of belonging and collaboration edit
21. What would it mean for your organization to feel a sense of belonging to the Wikimedia or free knowledge movement?
- We were taken aback this year at the treatment of some in the community. Les sans pagEs, active on French Wiki, aim to close the gap around women’s biographies. Their work aligns closely with ours in that they focus on a specific subset of articles and persons, they faced various hurdles and pushback around the existence of their project, the work they were doing, and those associated with the group working in good faith. While not directly affecting BLT, these kinds of friction make it feel more difficult or degrade a sense of belonging in the Wiki movement. The community often puts those on the margins through tests, where they must explain themselves and prove their edits beyond a reasonable measure. We recognize this as a distraction from the actual work and a burden that marginalized groups carry compared to others. When this type of questioning and litmus tests by editors fall by the wayside, our community, sense of belonging, and the content of Wiki will be better for it.
22. How has your (for individual grantees) or your group/organization’s (for organizational grantees) sense of belonging to the Wikimedia or free knowledge movement changed over the fund period?
- Stayed the same
23. If you would like to, please share why it has changed in this way.
- N/A
24. How has your group/organization’s sense of personal investment in the Wikimedia or free knowledge movement changed over the fund period?
- Stayed the same
25. If you would like to, please share why it has changed in this way.
- N/A
26. Are there other movements besides the Wikimedia or free knowledge movement that play a central role in your motivation to contribute to Wikimedia projects? (for example, Black Lives Matter, Feminist movement, Climate Justice, or other activism spaces) If so, please describe it below.
- N/A
Supporting Peer Learning and Collaboration edit
We are interested in better supporting peer learning and collaboration in the movement.
27. Have you shared these results with Wikimedia affiliates or community members?
- Partially
27a. Please describe how you have already shared them. Would you like to do more sharing, and if so how?
- Our Wikimedia Director, eliza myrie, participates in two groups focused on supporting one another as affiliates/organizations/organizers in the Movement. Eliza regularly joins the growing group of Wikipedia EDs every month and a smaller group of more similar groups, including A + F, AfroCROWD, and Whose Knowledge? When we meet, we discuss the successes and challenges of our organizations, questions of happenings in the Movement, and ways to progress the work we are doing individually.
At the moment, this is a sufficient amount of sharing and support from/with other groups.
28. How often do you currently share what you have learned with other Wikimedia Foundation grantees, and learn from them?
- We do this regularly (at least once a month)
29. How does your organization currently share mutual learning with other grantees?
- N/A
Part 6: Financial reporting and compliance edit
30. Please state the total amount spent in your local currency.
- 246468.45
31. Local currency type
- USD
32. Please report the funds received and spending in the currency of your fund.
- Upload Documents, Templates, and Files.
- Report funds received and spent, if template not used.
33. If you have not already done so in your budget report, please provide information on changes in the budget in relation to your original proposal.
- N/A
34. Do you have any unspent funds from the Fund?
34a. Please list the amount and currency you did not use and explain why.
- $55, 330.55
Noted in detail in our submitted budget spreadsheet, we experienced several staffing changes during the FY22 year resulting in an underspend. These staffing changes also affected some of our ability to execute programs at total capacity due to shortcomings in staff time. Significantly these changes are moving us toward our goals. When folks joined the team, the F &O assistant, for example, supported improving our existing processes. In 2022 The F & O team created and implemented an organization-wide budgeting format that more easily integrates how we write budgets, utilize Quickbooks, and report data for our audits. These are some of the factors that account for budget lines that were previously non-existent or have been condensed into single values. The WMF budget written in 2021 precedes this important organizational structure.
34b. What are you planning to do with the underspent funds?
- A. Propose to use the underspent funds within this Fund period with PO approval
34c. Please provide details of hope to spend these funds.
- In 2022, BLT experienced expansion of programming, team growth, and a major transition as founding Directors transitioned from operations to executive board service. As noted in the spreadsheet three positions began at a later date or experienced an interruption in service due to circumstances outside of our control: Executive Director, Wiki Assistant, and Communications Specialist. Executive Director and Wiki Assistant are now encumbered and we have announces and anticipate hiring the Communications Specialist in April. We have identified $55, 330.55 of unspent funds from 2022, these funds will be used to provide a merit promotion to the Wiki Director, recruit an additional Wiki Assistant, and support capacity building contracts, workshops, retreats, and training specific to transition management, team building, and communications. Consistent with BLT strategic vision these activities will increase organization wide knowledge, support, and understanding of Wiki initiatives and impacts, as well as updates to communications strategies for social media, newsletters, and BLT graphic identity.
35. Are you in compliance with the terms outlined in the fund agreement?
As required in the fund agreement, please report any deviations from your fund proposal here. Note that, among other things, any changes must be consistent with our WMF mission, must be for charitable purposes as defined in the grant agreement, and must otherwise comply with the grant agreement.
36. Are you in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations as outlined in the grant agreement?
- Yes
37. Are you in compliance with provisions of the United States Internal Revenue Code (“Code”), and with relevant tax laws and regulations restricting the use of the Funds as outlined in the grant agreement? In summary, this is to confirm that the funds were used in alignment with the WMF mission and for charitable/nonprofit/educational purposes.
- Yes
38. If you have additional recommendations or reflections that don’t fit into the above sections, please write them here.
