Wikimedia Belgium
[edit]At the start of Wikimedia Belgium, we were funded through project grants. While growing we were granted by Simple Annual Plan Grants (sAPG) as of 2018. There could be multiple project grants during the year. There can be only one single annual grant.
Grants process
[edit]Wikimedia and its projects, and other projects to amend Wikipedia and other Wikimedia platforms, are funded by Wikimedia Foundation grants. The process of a grant request is as follows:
- It starts with a project idea and a project team, or an annual plan and budget and resource plan.
- Write a grant proposal, including a budget, and submit it to the grant team (like the Wikimedia Foundation).
- The Grant proposal is reviewed and commeneted. When everything is okay it is approved, and funds are received in one or multiple portions, and the project starts.
- Depending on the length of the period of the grant, one or multiple interim report(s) can be required, often via a midterm report or interview.
- After project completion, a final activity and financial report has to be submitted, including metrics.
- Remaining funds have to be reallocated or returned to the granting party.
- The grant has been completed when all these steps have been taken and the grant party approves the final report.
Notes
[edit]- Please note that certain dates are not the actual date, but the only date to be found in the edit history of requests and reports. If this difference is large a note can be added.
- Sorted by date of submission or setting infobox status to
open - Notes for giving a better understanding can be added to the Notes column.
Type
[edit]In 2015-2016 the grants system of the Wikimedia Foundation changed. In July 2016 the system for PEG grants changed and became Project grants.
