The Community Resources team supports mission-aligned individuals, groups, and organizations around the world to increase the diversity, reach, quality, and quantity of free knowledge. We offer funding opportunities, guidance, and other resources to ensure that the free knowledge is available and accessible to anyone. We promote knowledge equity aligned with the strategic direction of the Wikimedia movement.


{{WMF Team Info

|title= Community Resources
Our team has grown and adapted to provide consistent regional support and capacity building opportunities to our partners. Program officers are oriented around geographic regions or specific programs, such as Learning & Evaluation and Wikimedia movement conferences. Each regional program officer is also the central point of contact for a priority thematic area, in order to keep a strong connection with the global movement and to facilitate interactions with the communities and Wikimedia Foundation teams.

===How we work=== <!--T:130-->

<!--T:131-->
Our funding is divided into three primary areas: General Support Funds, which support the professionalization and ongoing activities of [[<tvar name="1">m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia_movement_affiliates</tvar>|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.

<!--T:132-->
Regional Program Officers work closely with the 8 [[<tvar name="1">m:Grants:Committees</tvar>|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.

Community Resources

We support the Affiliates and contributors of the Wikimedia Movement by offering institutional and individual funding to help achieve the Movement’s goals. To support the movement’s commitment to Knowledge Equity, our team prioritizes proactive outreach to communities that have been left out by structures of power and privilege.




The Team

Veronica Thamaini

Regional Programs and Program Officer for the Middle East and North Africa and Sub-Saharan Africa Regions

Chen Almog

Senior Program Officer for Conference and Events Funds

Agnes Bruszik

Lead Program Officer, Northern and Western Europe Region

Mercedes Caso

Senior Program Officer for the Latin America and The Caribbean Region

Jacqueline Chen

Senior Program Officer for East, Southeast Asia, and Pacific and South Asia Regions

Davit Saroyan

Senior Program Officer, Technical

Chris "Jethro" Schilling

Senior Program Officer for Central and Eastern Europe, Central Asia & the United States and Canada Regions

How we work

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.
