Hi folks,
While watching the current changes to Wikimedia France microgrants program implemented, I was curious to know which Wikimedia entities had similar funding programs for individuals - how they worked, how we could learn form each other.
Since apparently there was no Meta page for that(tm) (yet!) I went ahead and drafted <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Jean-Fr%C3%A9d%C3%A9ric/Funding_program...
I dug my information out of my email archives and FDC proposal forms, so I could totally have missed some programs - please add the ones you know about!
Of course, it would be more useful to have more detailed information on every program. Together with Caroline & Pierre-Selim we threw some ideas on what we thought was interesting to know about the programs, but that's still very alpha - please add more ideas!
Looking forward to your thoughts about this!
Cheers,
Wikimedia UK offer microgrants and macrogrants. Microgrants are for sums between £5 and £250, while macrogrants are for £250 to £2,000.
To be eligible, the applicant has to be a member of Wikimedia UK; this can either be individual membership, or organisational.
You can read more at https://uk.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants

The relevant Meta page is https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants It was written mainly with information from the Wikimania 2011 session pad, so it may be slightly outdated. Can you please merge yours in? Worth asking others on chapters-l. I'm also still wondering whether WMF has some document somewhere with reflections on their grants to individuals, which I missed in https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:Retrospective_2009-2012; of course their case is different (way more risky and uncertain because they of distance in all senses).

Thanks to everybody who added more information - Jan, Itzik, Nicolas, Christoph, Siko & Jessie.

Nemo - I have no idea why we are moving to ElasticSearch: *you* should be implemented as the search backend for Meta - and MediaWiki.org and Bugzilla while we are at it ;-þ
The table is now merged in https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants. Please fix any oversight I may have made in the process, and add any missing information.
(It is my understanding that grantmaking programs will be a focus of the next Wikimedia Conference - I look forward more conversation happening on this topic!)
Cheers,
+1 to moving from ElasticSearch to NemoFind.

+1 to moving from ElasticSearch to NemoFind.
I am sorry, but NemoFind is a trademark of WM-IT. Now we are going to ask him how to sue you for trademark infringement, since, you know, he already has experience in the field.

Denis: I found it useful, thank you. I believe there is a long history of this in other chapters as well, such as Wikimedia Polska. Are other grantmaking overviews published online?

I knew we had the "Support small projects" program within WMNL, but I didn't know we had reports too!

Omg, I totally missed this thread when it started originally.
As Wikimedia Deutschland has an extensive history in individual grantmaking and is currently running more than a dozen programs, please allow me to add a link to our overview-page in the German Wikipedia:
https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:F%C3%B6rderung (German only, sorry, but Google Translate should do it)
Sorry for being so utterly late, but I hope this link is still of use? In case you need some more explanations in detail, please feel free to consult me here or offlist.
Best regards, Denis Barthel
