Yearly grant
The Yearly grant is a simple yearly Chapter grant that is evaluated and granted by the WMF Grants team.
Why
[edit]The grant is necessary to fund the Affiliate programs, projects, activities, and pay for the administrative and service costs.
How it works
[edit]Small chapters register a simple yearly grant; large chapters have a more complicated and larger multi-year grant.
Responsibilities
[edit]The grant process is a shared responsibility amongst the Affiliate and the WMF Grants team. It requires quite a lot of effort, both from the Foundation and the Chapter. It is spread amongst 3 consecutive calendar years (at least 4 + 12 + 2 months). It goes in parallel with the statutory reporting. Since 2022 the grants teams are organised by region.
- The Affiliate is responsible for the creating grant request, the execution, and the reporting (both content and financials).
- The WMF Program officer is responsible for the review, the approval, and the evaluation of the grant.
- The Grants admin team administers the financials.
