Subsídios Rápidos

O programa Subsídios Rápidos financia membros da comunidade Wikimedia — indivíduos, grupos ou organizações que contribuem para os projetos da Wikimedia, como a Wikipédia ou o Commons — para organizar projetos ao longo do ano nos valores entre US$ 500 e US$ 5 000. Os projetos podem incluir experimentos ou necessidades padrão que não precisam de revisão ampla para começar.

Eligibility criteria

Specific criteria

As propostas devem corroborar com o avanço da missão da Wikimedia. Todos os pedidos entre US$ 500 e US$ 5 000 serão considerados. (or its equivalent in another currency at the time of the application).
Individuals, groups, and organizations may apply.
Individuals are limited to 2 open grants at any given time. The total grant value accessible annually, in the given fiscal year (July 1 – June 30, for example, 1 July 2022 – 30 June 2023), is up to USD 10,000, encouraging applicants to move into longer term planning in the General Support Fund program when more resources are needed.
Organizations including affiliates and informally organized groups are limited to 3 open grants at any given time. The total grant value an organization or group can access annually is up to USD 10,000.
