Grants
This page is intended to contain all grants related to Wikimedia in Belgium. It does not matter if a grant was submitted under the flag of Wikimedia Belgium or not. Mentioning a grant request on this page is solely for having an overview (for transparency), and does not mean Wikimedia Belgium does support or does not support the request.

Wikimedia Belgium
editSince the start of Wikimedia Belgium, we got funded through project grants, until we had grown to large and had to switch to Simple Annual Plan Grants (sAPG) for 2018. During the periods we had project grants, we could have multiple grants during the year. Since WMBE is in sAPG, Wikimedia Belgium can have only one active grant.
Grants process
editWikimedia and its projects, as well as many other projects to enrich Wikipedia and the other Wikimedia platforms, are often funded with grants from the Wikimedia Foundation. The process of the steps in a grant request are usually as follows:
- It starts with a project idea and forming a team, or an annual plan and budget and resource plan.
- Writing a grant proposal, including a budget, and submitted to the granting party (like the Wikimedia Foundation).
- Grant proposal is reviewed and if everything is okay approved, and funds are received in one or multiple portions, and the project starts.
- Depending on the length of the period of the grant, one or multiple interim report(s) can be required, often midterm.
- After the completion of the project, the receipts for every cost must be send to the granting party and a final grant report has to be submitted including metrics and a description of the costs.
- Remaining funds have to be reallocated or returned to the granting party.
- The grant has been completed when all these steps have been taken and the grant party approves and accepts the final report.
Notes
edit- Please note that certain dates are not the actual date, but the only date to be found in the edit history of requests and reports. If this difference is large a note can be added.
- Sorted by date of submission or setting infobox status to
open - Notes for giving a better understanding can be added to the Notes column.
