Wikigrants
Wikigrants are a membership benefit for members of Wikimedia Norge. They are primarily intended as a travel scholarship to participate in events within Norway and abroad, but it is also possible to apply for other purposes as long as they benefit the Wikimedia projects.
There is no fixed deadline to apply, you can apply any time; you can expect a decision within 3 weeks of getting confirmation that your application was received (which will normally happen on the next working day).
The wikigrant budget for the period July 2024-June 2025 is NOK 50,000.
What you can apply for
- Support to participate in wiki conferences or other events domestically or abroad
- Support for other expenses related to activities that contribute content to the Wikimedia projects.
