Please submit your application via the [[Microgrants/Applications|applications page]]. The template will tell you what information we need from you.
 
If you don't want your name publicly associated with a request, then please email it to us at microgrants{{@}}wikimedia.org.uk. We will then place it on the applications page without your name associated with it.
 
You should only have one application in progress at any one time (although there is no limit to how many applications you can put in over time). If you have not had a microgrant before, then you need to go through the complete process before applying for another.
 
You need to be a member of Wikimedia UK to apply for a grant - but don't worry if you aren't, as you can always [[Membership|join]] for just £5!
 
== Decision making ==
Applications will be reviewed by a member of the Wikimedia UK Board, currently [[User:Mike Peel|Mike Peel]]). Wherever possible this will be done transparently on the applications page. If clarification of the application is needed, this will be done interactively on the wiki.
 
In some cases (e.g. if your application is particularly novel, or is over the £250 threshold), the decision may be escalated to the [[Board|WMUK board]], which means that it may take a little longer to have a decision.
 
== Using the grant ==
Once a grant is approved, you have a budget of up to the amount specified. You can either ask us to purchase the approved items for you using that budget, which can then be posted to you, or you can purchase the approved items yourself and use our expenses form to claim the money back.
 
== Reporting ==
Once you've completed the tasks that the microgrant enabled, then you should make a brief (1-2 paragraphs long) report on what the funds were used for, and what the benefits were, on the [[Microgrants/Reports|report page]]. In this report, you should provide evidence of the benefits (e.g. link to new articles and diffs), and mention any useful strategic contacts with organizations/individuals.
 
If your microgrant activity lasts over a year, then you should report yearly on the progress that has been made.
 
Wikimedia UK will do an annual audit (at the start of each calendar year) to track objects purchased through a microgrant.
