Micro-Grants are a means for members of the Wikimedia community to ask Wikimedia CH for a financial support - from 1 up to 500 CHF - for their micro-projects or activity, that has an impact on Wikimedia projects. If you would like to apply for such a micro-grant, please enter your request in the list below and provide enough background information so that the committee can take a decision. If you have any question, please consider the FAQ section or leave a comment on the discussion page.
Submit your micro-grants-request
Please provide a title to your micro-grant application and click the button "Request" to create your proposal. Please note that you can submit your request in one of the following 5 languages: German, French, Italian, Romansh or English. <inputbox> type = create prefix = Wikimedia CH/Micro Grant/ preload = Wikimedia CH/template:Micro-Grant width = 42 placeholder = Request: buttonlabel = Create break = no </inputbox>
Information on the micro-grants process
- Micro-grants Planning:
- Please carefully plan your micro-grants-submission. First make sure you're eligible to submit a request. This will be the case if you are currently active in a Wikimedia project in one of the Swiss languages (German, French, Italian or Romansh) AND coming from Switzerland, or a country with no Wikimedia chapter or a country with a Wikimedia chapter not receiving FDC funding. Before submitting your request think about the strategic goal you want to achieve and the resources (financial and non-financial resources (e.g. time, support of other volunteers etc.)) you will need in order to reach your goal.
- Micro-grants Submission:
- To submit your micro-grant request, you can simply fill in the title of your request in the input field above. A template will automatically be created, where you can detail all the details of your request.
- Micro-grants Implementation:
- Make sure your project is feasible and measurable. You can always get back to your respective Community and/or Community Liaison who will be glad to support you during this important phase.
- Micro-grants Reporting:
- After having implemented your activity, it's very important for Wikimedia CH to get your feedback and learn from your experience. That's why we ask you to shortly document the activities you've conducted and the impact you have generated by measuring and evaluating the project's success. Once your project is completed, please input all the relevant information (feedback, links to articles, categories on commons for ie) on your request form in the section "people involved" and "influence on Wikimedia projects".
