Grants:TPS/Build/Design

Opportunities provided by TPS

Travel funding provides opportunities to deeply connect participants to the movement and each other.
Participation Support demonstrates an opportunity to reach a range of new Wikimedia grantees, including women and participants in the Global South.

Recommendations

The volume of requests and grants made in this program must be increased in order to fully realize its potential; the scale of use is too small with the current scope and setup.
Program pages should be redesigned for ease-of-use and to generate joy.
Simpler application methods should be investigated in order to keep the process open to a range of applicants.

SCOPE OF WORK for Travel and Participation Support Grants

TPS should fit into overall concepts of the look and feel of grants pages, be informative and inviting, & explain the purpose and intention of Wikimedia grantmaking. timing approximation in green
