How partnerships work
[edit ]Regional Partnerships Managers are based around the world, with a priority on those regions that have historically been underrepresented in our Movement. Partnerships Managers have relationships with Affiliates and external partners in those regions, and seek to ensure that Affiliates have access to external partners and that partners deepen their understanding of and become advocates for the Wikimedia Movement.

Movement funding
[edit ]Our funding is divided into three primary areas: General Support Funds, which support the professionalization and ongoing activities of Wikimedia Affiliates, Conference and Events Funds, which support Movement-led gatherings and convenings, and Movement Strategy Implementation Grants, which are dedicated specifically to implementing the recommendations of the Movement Strategy.
Regional Program Officers work closely with the 8 Regional Fund Committees, which are made up of volunteers from the Movement, to review proposals, provide guidance to grant applicants, and make funding decisions. Additional Program Officers support the Conference and Events Funds and the Movement Strategy Implementation Grants.
