Support programs

On this page, you will find the specific support programs of the German-language Wikimedia organizations.

You can get support in planning events, individual activities, and group projects. We do our best to address your individual needs – no matter whether you require organizational support or access to specialized literature or technology. To obtain support, you must be contributing to Wikipedia or another Wikimedia project. More information on the different offers and further steps can be found below.

Additional support options

Wikimedia Deutschland offers a program specifically designed for projects with and for OpenStreetMap (OSM).

You can’t find what you’re looking for? Simply contact the Wikimedia organization of the country you reside in (DE, AT, CH).

If the German-language Wikimedia organizations are not able to support an idea, you may be able to obtain scholarships and grants through the Wikimedia Foundation. All the information (mostly in English) about the offers of the Wikimedia Foundation can be found here.
