What we fund

General Support Fund can fund both annual plans and more narrow but distinct projects that require more funding than Rapid Funds can support. Ideally, the minimum length of programming for a General Support Fund is 6 months of work implementation. Exceptions to this rule can be considered due to regional variances.

Examples of projects we fund as part of annual plan
  • Education projects
  • Ayyukan al'adu da al'adun gargajiya waɗanda ke tallafawa gudummawar abun ciki, daidaita abun ciki da haɓaka samun dama ga wannan abun ciki.
  • Gender and diversity projects
  • Community support and engagement projects
  • Coordination of global campaigns.
  • Public policy advocacy projects that aim to influence legal and regulatory environments (at the national, regional or international level) in order to protect the people, model and the values of the free knowledge movement. These projects could target national legislation, trade agreements, human rights frameworks, and any other regulations and norms set by governments and lawmakers.
Examples of expenses we support
  • Wurin aiki, sabis, kyaututtuka, isar da kai, da sauran kuɗin gama gari da ake buƙata don tallafawa gyara-a-thons, gasa, tafiyar ɗaukar hotuna, da kamfen talla.
  • Kuɗin Data domin tallafawa harkokin taruka na yanar gizo
  • Staff expenses - compensation for well-defined roles that do not replace volunteer activities, including (but not limited to) graphic design, training, childcare services, translation, project or organisation management, and Wikimedian-in-Residence roles.
  • Learning or training expenses - costs related to learning or training for community members or affiliate staff.
  • Tafiye-tafiye domin masu shiryawa da mahalarta
Examples of funded applications
Examples of proposals we do not fund
  • Proposals that fit certain criteria are not eligible for review in the Wikimedia Community Fund:
    • Proposals that are primarily focused on research activities should be submitted to the Wikimedia Research Fund.
    • Proposals that are primarily focused on large-scale software development are not eligible for review. Smaller-scale software development projects may be eligible for review in the Rapid Fund pending review from Community Resources and Technology department staff.

Available funding

  • Historically, funding has been awarded between a wide range of amounts, between 10,000 – 550,000 USD, depending on the size of grantees and their related programs requiring funding.
  • The minimum amount for a General Support Fund application remains 10,000 USD.
  • The maximum annual funding amount of a General Support Fund is depending on regional funds budgets and individual assessment of the proposals by the Regional Funds Committee Members.
  • The average annual grant amount awarded for a first-time grantee in Fiscal Year 2024/25 was 33,000 USD globally, while regionally: NA: 130,500 USD, NWE: 50,000 USD, SA: 22,300 USD, ESEAP: 26,600 USD, SSA: 15,400 USD, MENA: 20,600 USD.

General Support Fund offers unrestricted funding.

What is unrestricted funding?

Unrestricted funding means that grantees are able to reallocate funding in their budget to new or existing mission-aligned activities or expenses at their own discretion during the funding period. You do not need to obtain permission from the Foundation for reallocation for these changes in your budget. The General Support Fund fundamentally awards unrestricted grants, however, exceptions might apply. Past examples of restricted grants are:

  • Amendment for a specific case or set of expenses.
  • Specific cases of externally supported organizational or strategic reviews by third parties for a grantee.
  • Public policy advocacy efforts.
  • External fundraising support for a fixed period of time and for a specific external project.
  • Government restrictions to receiving funding.
  • In line with the Grant Agreement, financial variations of 20% or more from any budget-item in Grantee’s unrestricted project proposal, requiring a notification and PO approval.

Ka'idojin cancanta

The General Support Fund (GSF) is open to Wikimedia Movement organizations and organized groups of Wikimedia volunteers, to support the effective programmatic work of those implementing their work in 100% of the time related to and focusing exclusively on Wikimedia projects.

Organizations outside the Wikimedia Movement that occasionally collaborate with Wikimedia projects, but whose activities are not 100% of the time related to and focusing on Wikimedia projects, are not eligible for General Support Fund.

Any General Support Fund applicant must be in contact with the application's Regional Program Officer at least one month before the deadline for application. If you have not had a conversation with your Program Officer about applying for General Support Funding, you will need to apply in the subsequent rounds of funding.

  • Regional Fund Committee review: Committee members review the proposals and supporting documents individually based on a series of criteria and questions.
  • Initial feedback: Committees may publish questions to clarify any aspects of the proposal. Community members may also be posting comments, questions or feedback that applicants should respond to.
  • Structured feedback from Regional Committee: The whole committee meets to discuss each project to consolidate a unified feedback document that will be sent to applicants.
  • Staff feedback shared with committee: Program Officers share their review of each proposal with Committee members.

  • Applicant responses and revisions: Applicants have a set time to make necessary adjustments or clarifications.
  • Deliberations: Committee members hold a second round of formal deliberation sessions to make their final decisions on the funding. In this stage they take into consideration all the recommendations and adjustments, as well as the overall budget for the region.

Financial compliance and audit

While budgeting and financial reporting practices may differ for each grantee, to improve overall financial and operational governance of organizations, in compliance with the Wikimedia Movement’s new affiliate health criteria, and to provide Regional Fund Committees a good shared understanding of how funds are being spent and what financial practices are being maintained, and how affiliate leadership is involved in the financial management, more detailed financial and Board Membership information might be asked from grantees.

Grant recipients, with a budget over a certain amount defined by the Regional Fund Committees for their specific region, will be required to provide more detailed financial reports or external audits. Grant recipients, who already provide annual public externally audited financial reports as part of their compliance with local legislation for registered non-profit organizations, can submit that financial report instead of an additional audit.
