私にどんな影響がありますか?

このプロセスと現状の助成金制度の変更により、みなさん個人もしくはご所属の組織への影響は? 以下に予測される事態のガイダンスをご用意しました。このガイダンスは2部で構成します。

An important goal in this transition process is to ensure that you understand how you will be able to apply for and receive funding, how this transition will affect your current grants, and what new opportunities and resources will be available to you. Furthermore, because this transition process uses an iterative approach, we are open to and expect to make adjustments to the proposal to support your needs.


Information on specific grant programs

For each proposed grant program, we provide a conceptual framework and initial guidance related to what needs the funding will support:

  • Scope of Proposals: What kinds of programmatic work will this grant program support?
  • Considerations: An overview of initial concepts for each grant program.
  • Relation to current grant program: How does this relate to the Wikimedia Foundation’s current grant programs?

Grant Program Focus Area: More Sustainable, Healthy and Diverse Global Movement

直近の受給者はこのプログラムの対象となり、助成金基金の最も大きな部分、助成金予算の80%超を分配する見込みです。その応募を望む皆さんには増額の手順 (pathways for growth) を明示する計画で、人件費や技能開発の機会まで視野に入れます。運動に新規の多様なコミュニティを招き入れるため、先見性のある戦略を築くつもりです。

Scope of Proposals Initial Considerations Relation to current grant programs
Short-term project and program activities, such as local edit-a-thons, contests, and workshops.
  • Alignment with strategic direction
  • Applications open throughout the year
  • 1-2 month review time
  • Entry of level of funding will remain at 500$
  • Paid time for organizing/coordination
  • For individuals or groups
  • Grantees will report on spending and maintain receipts, but will no longer be required to scan and send receipts to the Foundation.
  • Most activities that are currently supported by Rapid Grants
  • New types of short-term programs are welcome
Long-term projects, programs and activities, such as annual plans or regularly occurring international campaigns
  • Alignment with the strategic direction
  • Support for affiliates at all levels of maturity (including newer user groups and chapters)
  • Support for other informal groups working on wiki projects.
  • Clear pathways to desired growth or sustainability
  • Funding amounts based on:
    • scope of impact
    • level of experience with managing funds
  • General support funding
  • Funding of staff
  • Multi-year funding possible
  • Simple Annual Plan Grants
  • Annual Plan Grants
  • Project Grants online/offline
  • Global campaigns

Grant Program Focus Area: Stronger Free Knowledge Ecosystem

このプログラムは、使命に沿った組織との協働により、新興コミュニティのネットワーク拡大と成長に役立つものです。補助金予算総額のおよそ10%を占めると見込まれます。基本的に新しいカテゴリーの助成金ではあるものの、現行の使命に沿った組織でプロジェクト助成金の受領者数件が該当します。プログラムをコミュニティの状況に適応させるため、私たちはコミュニティと緊密に協力します。

Scope of Proposals Initial Considerations Relation to current grant programs
Increase local awareness and readership through collaboration with mission-aligned organizations in emerging communities.
  • Mission aligned organization in an emerging community
  • Not the largest, or sole donor for the organization
  • Connected with local affiliate where applicable
    • e.g. Open Street Maps
  • A small number of partners are supported by Project Grants.
  • This is a primarily new category of funding to help amplify and grow the network in emerging communities.
Engagement with diverse content, increase local collaboration
  • Mission-aligned organizations in emerging communities that have a track record in grants, are engaged with an active community or an active project.
    • e.g. Libraries without Borders
  • New area of support for mission-aligned organizations who can offer expertise or resources in content areas that are new or difficult to develop.
Support initiatives that will lead to a sustainable, healthy and diverse global movement
  • New partners to engage in active support to build sustainable engagement by providing infrastructure, developing capacity.
    • e.g. Organizations focused on digital literacy
  • Funding for these activities aims to offer support that goes beyond developing content.
  • It aims to introduce skills, infrastructure and agency among the community members.

Grant Program Focus Area: Improved Technology, Tools, and Research to Respond to Wikimedia Needs

現状のプロジェクト助成金プログラム (Project Grants program) によりソフトウェアならびに調査費を受給されている皆さんは、技術助成を主題とする新規のプログラムへ移項されます。これにより技術的な助成受給者に一貫性を高め目的に合った支援が可能になります。この新規プログラムの範囲は明確に定義し、特定の要件を設定する予定です。プログラム主題の予算は現状の支出レベルよりもやや増え、助成金総額の10%前後に相当する見込みです。

Scope of Proposals Initial Considerations Relation to current grant programs

Proposals primarily focused on software development

  • Iterative process with an initial scope for software grants that will evolve over time
  • Focus on tools which can be used by multiple language wikis.
  • Collaborate with the Wishlist team to identify projects that community developers could focus and collaborate on.
  • Exploratory projects and proof of concepts to test new ideas should be given consideration in addition to "production ready" ideas
  • Further thinking is needed to define requirements for long term sustainability as deployed software always has longer term maintenance needs
  • Dedicated committee to evaluate software grants
  • Multi-year funding
Project Grants for software grant recipients

Proposals primarily focused on research with a clear use-case in mind

Prioritization of proposals by researchers in emerging communities with more limited alternative resources for funding and when there is an active local or global community interested in operationalizing the research findings

  • Prioritization of proposals by researchers on high priority open questions that the community of editors, organizers, or developers face
  • 優先する調査企画書は(ローカルで実質的に)活動中のボランティアで主催者、編集者または開発者の皆さんが関与する案件
  • Dedicated committee to evaluate research grants
  • Multi-year funding

Broader considerations for implementation

Participatory decision making: Decentralization and power sharing

We are fully committed to the idea of decentralization and power sharing through participatory decision-making processes. We will review our eligibility criteria to determine what needs to be maintained (such as good community standing and commitment to the Universal Code of Conduct (UCOC), and what can become more flexible. To increase power sharing, we want to work towards guiding principles for grant programs that allow committees the flexibility needed to adapt to the realistic and adapted needs of community members to achieve their goals.

Regional and thematic committees

The strategic direction moves us towards a regional focus. Regional and thematic committees will be created that aim to account for the full complexities of the world and the movement. And that recognizes the diversity in programming, cultures and languages within regions and globally. Committee composition will be a key conversation during the implementation phase.

予算

提言されている戦略の初年度を支えるため、見込まれるニーズに基づき運用できる予算総額の増額を要求する予定です。現状で予算額は未確定ですが、この四半期に財団の年次計画立案期に入ることから、予算を申請中です。

We have a strong commitment to equitable funding distribution. We will increase investment in emerging communities. We will make access to funding more flexible across all programs by adopting a less conservative risk policy.
