Wikimedia Australia is looking to support Australian organisations in contributing to Wikimedia projects that fit their strategic priorities of equity, inclusion and capacity building. In this funding round they invite organisations that have the capacity and expertise to propose a project that will engage with one or more Wikimedia platforms including Wikipedia, Wikidata, Wikimedia Commons or others. Organisations or participants with experience and expertise in Wikimedia projects are highly encouraged.
Funding: Funding for three projects is available with up to $10,000 per project. Co-contributions as cash or in kind are welcome.
Deadline for Submissions: Thursday 23 February 2023
Selection criteria: Projects should address one or more of our three priority areas
- Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities
- Australian regional and remote communities
- Australian women
Ways you could use this funding include to promote and support engagement in current Wikimedia projects, an internship or Wikipedian-in-Residence (WiR) opportunity with your organisations, promote and facilitate training for regional communities and organisations in Wiki editing or tools.
Possible outcomes include content from collections that relate to the priority areas, capacity building (training) of staff and/or volunteers, policy development, engagement and outreach relating to any or multiple Wikimedia platforms (Wikipedia, Wikidata, Commons, WikiSource, WikiVoyage etc.).
