Wikimedia DC provides small grants to individuals, community groups, and nonprofit organizations to fund activities that align with our mission to advance general knowledge and collect, develop, and disseminate educational content under a free license or in the public domain. Activities for which grants are available can include anything from a library workshop or photo expedition to a small conference.
We encourage applications from anywhere in the United States, or even elsewhere in the world. There are no deadlines; grant applications are accepted on a rolling basis.
To apply for a grant, please post an application using the form below. Your application must include the following information:
