Abstract:
We appreciate the wikipedian-organizers. We have created the Community micro-grants' programme for them. Anyone can apply for (not only) financial support for their own wiki-events in which other wikipedians can participate. These funds then enable events such as local meetings, competitions, lectures, photo-workshops, photo-expeditions, WikiTowns, support local GLAM partnerships, training, etc.
