- Innovation and learning - Does it take an innovative approach to solving a key problem for the Wikimedia movement? Is the potential impact greater than the risks? Can we measure success?
- Ability to execute - Can the scope be accomplished in 6 months? How realistic/efficient is the budget? Do the participants have the necessary skills/experience?

Du hast eine Idee, weißt aber nicht wie du einen vollständigen Vorschlag daraus machen sollst? Oder möchtest du Mitstreiter für dein Projekt finden? Dann hol dir Hilfe um deine Idee umzusetzen im IdeaLab.
3. Schritt:
Das WMF Grandmaking Team überprüft die ausgearbeiteten Vorschläge um sicherzustellen, dass sie die Eignungskriterien erfüllen. Die Projekte, die nicht die Kriterien erfüllen, werden zurück in die Entwurfsphase versetzt und die Antragsteller werden benachrichtigt. Die Projekte, die förderfähig sind, werden als geprüft markiert und der Community zur Diskussion übergeben.
4. Schritt:
Die Wikimedia-Community ist eingeladen, die Vorschläge zu unterstützen oder Bedenken und Fragen auf den Diskussionsseiten der jeweiligen Anträge zu diskutieren.
Die Bewerber sind dafür verantwortlich, die betroffenen Communitys frühstmöglich über Ihre Vorschläge zu informieren
As soon as you draft your proposal, you should notify areas of the community (via village pump, mailing list, talk page, or other project-appropriate venues) that are most likely to be impacted or involved in your project. Community support is a factor in review, so please post a link to the notification and any relevant discussions in the section provided on your proposal, and encourage community members to post feedback on your proposal page.
5. Schritt:
Das Individual Engagement Grants committee überprüft die Vorschläge indem sie sie bewertet und eine Feedback gibt und letztendlich eine Zusammenfassung der Vorschläge an die WMF zur Finanzierung weitergibt.
6. Schritt:
selections finalized
The staff complete due diligence on the committee's recommended shortlist of proposals and finalize the selection of grantees. If necessary, this step may include an interview of the applicant with the program head. If your proposal is selected, you'll be notified and asked to submit verifying documentation (legal name, address, etc) to WMF for final approval.
7. Schritt:
Alle Bewerber werden Über die Ergebnisse auf den Diskussionsseiten benachrichtigt. Wenn dein Projekt auserwählt wurde, wirst du von der WMF kontaktiert. Diese werden dir dann eine Förderungsbescheinigung, eine Ausgaben Plan und weitere Details übermitteln.
Die Stipendiate werden über Mailinglisten, Soziale Netzwerke und dem Wikimedia blog bekanntgegeben
8. Schritt:
Die Geförderten teilen monatlich die Veränderungen auf eine beliebige Art und weise mit. Ebenfalls ist ein ausführlicher Bericht in der Mitte des Projektes und ein Endbericht im entspechenden Wiki vonnöten.
The Wikimedia Foundation’s grantmaking programs increase the quantity, quality, diversity, and reach of free knowledge by supporting allied organizations and people around the world.

reviewing proposals
Eine offene Diskussion und Evaluation von Vorschlägen bringt mehrere Perspektiven in den Auswahlprozess. Förderung beschränkt die Anzahl der Geförderten pro Runde (da nur eine bestimmte Summe zur Verfügung steht), und führt zu einer genaueren Überprüfung auf die Einhaltung der Auswahlkriterien.
Die Ideen und Anmerkungen Wikimedia Community helfen der WMF und dem Individual-Engagement-Grants-Komitee zu erkennen ob ein Projekt von den Leuten, die es ansprechen soll, angenommen wird.
Du kannst mitmachen indem du die offenen Vorschläge durchliesr und Feedback, Fragen, Bedenken und Vorschläge auf den jeweiligen Diskussionsseiten äußerst. Um einen Vorschlag zur Förderung vorzuschlagen, poste einfach eine Bestätigung in den dafür vorhergesehenen Platz auf der Vorschlagsseite.

serve on the review committee
We rely on a committee of volunteers from the Wikimedia community to recommend proposals for funding.
We enjoy a large committee and do not run elections. Those who are determined to meet the criteria are invited to become members during an open call period each year. Membership is for a 1-year term, which may be renewable.
To be considered for membership:
1. Review the membership criteria and make sure you meet them.
2. Review the committee's tasks and make sure you're willing and able to fulfill them (we'll show you how!).
3. Add your name to the list of candidates. Please include a brief statement about your background and Wikimedia involvement, demonstrating how you meet the criteria.
1. Provide feedback on grant proposals: Check on new ideas, drafts and proposals, engaging in talk page discussions to help improve them and asking questions to ensure that sufficient information is provided and that goals and estimates are realistic.
2. Review finalized proposals: Read and research submissions, join a working group to score proposals according to rubric determined by selection criteria and give feedback to applicants.
3. Recommend proposals for funding: Recommend a shortlist of proposals for funding to WMF staff based on the available budget.
Mandatory:
- Experience with the Wikimedia movement and at least one Wikimedia project.
- Experience with some aspect of Wikimedia programmatic or project-based work, e.g. editor engagement, WikiProjects or other on-wiki organizing processes, outreach, events, partnerships, research, education, gadget or bot-building, etc.
- Ability to edit basic wiki-markup (grant proposal discussions are largely conducted on meta-wiki).
- Reasonable facility with English, for reviewing and discussing grant proposals.
- In good community- and legal- standing (not currently blocked or banned, involved in allegations of unethical financial behavior, etc).
- Availability to actively engage in the selection process during the published schedule for that round (time commitment is about 3 hours per week, plus 1 extra day for scoring).
Preferable:
- Experience leading, coordinating, or managing projects with an intended on-wiki or online impact.
- Experience handling externally provided money and working within budgets, preferably in a non-profit context.
- Experience applying for grants or working in grants programs (in the Wikimedia, academic, or wider non-profit world).
- Ability to read and write in multiple languages.
Acceptable:
- Members may apply for an Individual Engagement Grant themselves, but they will recuse themselves from reviewing proposals in the same category as their own during that round.
- Membership does not conflict with membership in other Wikimedia committees, including the Grant Advisory Committee or the Wikimania Scholarships Committee.

round 1 2016 schedule
round 2 2015 schedule
Proposals accepted: 31 August–29 September
Committee members finalized: 30 September
Community comment requested: 30 September–19 October
Committee review: 20 October – 2 November
Grantees announced: 4 December
2015Grants disbursed: December 2015 – January 2016
Welcome, new grantees! Please read everything below to learn how to launch your project, learn how payments work, become familiar with your reporting responsibilities, and what to do if you need more time. Please review the program rules. Then follow the instructions to get your project started!
- Step 1 - Grant agreement
Before the grant can be approved, grantees must confirm the terms of the grant and provide their full legal name, address and date of birth for everyone listed on the bank account to which the grant will be disbursed. A request for this information will be emailed to you by WMF staff.
- Step 2 - Project page setup
Your grant proposal will now become a living plan for your project. Staff will update your proposal page with navigation to additional pages you'll need for documenting your project once it begins. Please visit your proposal and use the buttons to create all of your project pages. You should keep these pages up-to-date as much as possible as your project progresses. This documentation will help everyone to share in your progress and experiences over the course of the grant.
The total amount of your approved budget is listed in your grant agreement, and the approved use of funds for each line-item is detailed on your project finances page. We know that some details and expenses may change as your project progresses. That is ok, as long as you keep us updated and request approval for significant changes during the grant period, as follows:
- Please use the button provided on your project finances page to request approval for any changes to the planned use of funds as your project progresses. Staff will reply there to confirm approval or request additional information.
- Approval is required to make changes to any budget line-item with a variance greater than 20% for budgets of up to US$15,000, and 10% for budgets more than US$15,000 (or the equivalents in foreign currency).
Grant disbursements are made to the grantee’s account using a payment processing service or wire transfer as agreed upon in the grant agreement. Disbursements can take up to 30 days to be received. Remember that you are responsible for any tax associated with your receipt of the grant funds in your country.
Your disbursement will come in 2 equal installments:
- After you sign and return the grant agreement.
- After your midpoint report is received and approved.
accounting
Grantees are responsible for tracking and documenting use of grant funds as follows:
- Receipts or other documentation must be kept by the grantee for reporting and review purposes, and grantees should follow WMF Grants guidelines for documenting project expenses.
- Copies of receipts and documentation should be scanned and emailed to IEGrants
wikimedia.org when the project report is submitted to Meta-Wiki. - Any funds that are not used in agreement with the approved budget must be returned to WMF along with the final grant report, within 30 days after the end of the grant. Grantees should follow the WMF Grants program instructions for returning funds.
reporting
Our focus with reporting is to share lessons and insights gained from the project and to measure impact. Lessons learned through these reports will be used to share best practices with the broader Wikimedia community. Reports must be published on Meta-Wiki as part of the grantee's project pages. They will be reviewed by IEG staff within 30 days of submission, and may be commented on by staff, committee members, and the community. To be accepted, reports must be complete and accurate.
A brief project update is requested each month to share your progress and lessons learned along the way. These updates should be created and linked from your project's progress page on Meta-Wiki at the end of each month.
The format these updates take is up to you. Aim for something suited to your project that you’ll enjoy doing!
Aten der monatlichen Berichte:
- Newsletter in einem Wiki oder Zeitung
- Blogeintrag
- YouTube-Video
- Podcast
- Kommentierte Produktdemos
- Schlag etwas anderes vor. Wenn du es uns mitteilst oder etwas daraus lernst werden wir es fördern.
The Head of Individual Engagement Grants will schedule a monthly check-in with each project team, to assess and support needs as a project progresses.
A midpoint report demonstrating progress and lessons learned thus far must be submitted on Meta-Wiki. This report is is due within 15 days after three months of the grant's start date.
To create your midpoint report, use the "Start your Midpoint" button from your IEGrant project page.
A final report on the project’s outcomes, lessons, and impact assessment as measured against the project's targets and goals, must be submitted on Meta-Wiki. This report is is due within 30 days after the grant's end date.
To create your final report, use the "Start your Final" button from your IEGrant project page.
Grantees are encouraged to attend Wikimania or other movement gatherings to present findings to the community, in addition to providing the above written documentation.
To help the WMF learn about and improve its grantmaking programs, grantees are asked to complete occasional surveys during and after the grant period and to participate in longer-term follow-up interviews.
We know that occasionally something happens and more time may be needed to complete your project than expected. That is ok, as long as you keep us updated and request approval for significant changes.
If your final report is due but you need more time, please use the button provided on your timeline page to request an extension. Staff will reply there to confirm approval or request additional information.
Projects that demonstrate strong potential for impact and need for further funding may be considered for a renewal grant of six additional months.
- If you see need for continued funding, discuss this with the your program officer or other advisors during project check-ins.
- In the final grant report, you'll find a button to submit a renewal request. This should be created as soon after you submit the final report as possible.
- Renewals should include a plan for the second six months, with clear scope, budget, and measures of success.
- Staff will reply on the renewal request to confirm approval or request additional information.

program rules
- You are welcome to submit a proposal in any language.

If you have questions about submitting a grant request in a language other than English, please contact us to discuss.
- IEG Stipendien stellen ein Steuerpflichtiges Einkommen in den USA da. In anderen Ländern ist eine Steuerpflichtigkeit nicht ausgeschlossen. Die Begünstigten sind dazu vepflichtet selbst die notwendigen Abgaben zu leisten nicht die WMF und müssen sich daher selber über lokale Steuerrechte informieren.
- Jedes mitglied eines Projektteams ist ein einzelner Begünstigter. Daher muss jedes Teammitglied dem Stipendium zustimmen und bekommt dementsprechend auch nur seinen Teil des Stipendiums zugeschrieben. Berichte sollten trotzdem nur vom ganzen Team kommen.
- Das Stipendium kann in der lokalen Währung oder in US-Dollars ausgezahlt werden. Um Verluste durch Transaktionsgebühren und Wechselgebühren zu vermeiden, sollte der zu erwartende Verlust im Stipediumsantrag berücksichtigt werden.
- Das Stipendium wird in zwei Teilen ausgezahlt: Die Hälfte zum Start des Projekts, zirka drei bis vier Wochen, nachdem alle Projektdetails bei der WMF eingetraoffen und befürwortet wurden und die zweite Hälfte in zur Mitte des Projekts.
- Die Namen und Adressen der Begünstigten müssen nicht publik gemacht werden, wenn aber eine Förderung erfolgt, müssen staatlich beglaubigte Nachweise wie z.B. ein Foto an die WMF übermittelt werden.
- Als ein US-Spender ist die WMF gegenüber des Office of Foreign Assets Control (Amt für Kontrolle von Auslandsvermögen) verpflichtet. Die Vorschlagenden sind daher aufgefordert diese Liste auf etwaige Einschränkungen durch das Heimatland etc. durchzulesen und uns bei Fragen zu kontaktieren.
- Begünstigte unter 18 Jahren müssen einen Erziehungsberechtigten haben, der für den Begünstigten Verereinbarungen unterschreibt und Ausgaben tätigt.
- Die Förderungen dienen zur Unterstützung von freiwilligen Wikimedianern. Haupt- oder nebenberufliche WMF-Mitarbeiter, Mitarbeiter von Unterorganisationen und thematischen Organisationen wie Wikimedia Deutschland sowie von WMF-Förderorganisationen können leider keine Stipendien erhalten. In Einzelfällen kann das Komitee Stipendien an Leute vergeben die mit weniger als 20 Stunden pro Woche an bezahlten, Wikimedia unterstützenden Projekten mitarbeiten.
- Wenn deine Förderung eine Reise beinhaltet, halte dich bitte an die Reiseordnung der Wikimedia Foundation.
