Уступленне

Гадавы план Фонду Вікімедыя на 2021-2022 гады ўяўляе сабой завершаную сумесную працу ўсяго фонду па вызначэнні нашых мэтаў на ліпень 2021 - чэрвень 2022 фінансавага года (21-22 фінансавы год). У яго аснове ляжаць бягучыя абмеркавання з валанцёрамі, такія як працэс распрацоўкі стратэгіі руху, і наша доўгатэрміновая місія па прасоўванні свабодных ведаў. Ён выкарыстоўвае наш сярэднетэрміновай план у якасці сваёй ўсёабдымнай асновы.

Гэтая старонка змяшчае поўныя матэрыялы плана, уключаючы наш спіс мэтаў і відэаролікі ад выканаўчай каманды Фонду Вікімедыя з субтытрамі на арабскай, французскай, нямецкай, рускай, іспанскай і кітайскай мовах. Пытанні варта накіроўваць на нашу старонку абмеркавання і на прамы эфір гутаркі па Гадавым плане, які праводзіцца ў канцы месяца.

План на гэты год уключае ў сябе тры ўсёабдымных прыярытэту-забеспячэнне квітнеючай руху, развітой платформы, на якой гэты рух можа квітнець, і ўстойлівай і інклюзіўнай асновы для выканання гэтай працы.

Разам, квітнеючы рух, эвалюцыя Платформы і ўстойлівы і інклюзіўны фонд - гэта ўзаемадапаўняльныя намаганні, накіраваныя на дасягненне адной і той жа непахіснай мэты-зрабіць веды бясплатнымі для ўсіх.

Квітнеючае рух

How we understand Free knowledge 27
How we understand Free knowledge 27

Нашай першай задачай у рамках квітнеючага руху на 21-22 фінансавы год з'яўляецца забеспячэнне таго, каб у вікімедыйцаў былі сістэмы, неабходныя ім для дасягнення поспеху, а таксама інструменты і інфармацыя для бяспечнага дасягнення поспеху ў рамках гэтых сістэм.

Напрамак для гэтага зыходзіць з стратэгіі руху, якая на працягу многіх гадоў служыла асновай для працы Фонду, філіялаў і валанцёраў, у тым ліку ў рамках сярэднетэрміновага плана фонду Сярэднетэрміновы план. У гэтым годзе мы разгледзім ключавыя пытанні кіравання рухам, уключаючы Хартыю руху, Глабальны савет, цэнтры, навучанне лідэрства і створым механізмы забеспячэння захавання нашага універсальнага кодэкса паводзін. Мы таксама будзем:

  • Развівайце інструменты даверу і бяспекі, уключаючы маскіроўку IP-адрасоў і вызначэнне прыярытэтнасці некалькіх запытаў функцыянера,
  • Прадастаўляць доступ да інфармацыі, каб дапамагчы супольнасцям расстаўляць прыярытэты ў стратэгічных ініцыятывах і вырашаць праблемы, якія існуюць на розных платформах, такія як дэзінфармацыя і
  • Дапамажыце падрыхтаваць членаў супольнасці да выканання кіруючых функцый, гарантуючы, што людзі з розным вопытам і самабытнасцю нашага глабальнага руху гатовыя дапамагчы весці рух у будучыню.

Мы хочам падтрымаць рух у стварэнні незалежных сістэм, лідараў і структур самакіравання, якія служаць нашым рэдактарскім супольнасцям, вітаюць разнастайных пачаткоўцаў, падтрымліваюць і абараняюць аўтараў усіх відаў і адлюстроўваюць каштоўнасці руху.

Наша другая прыярытэтная вобласць у рамках прыярытэту квітнеючы рух - стаць больш гасціннымі для розных удзельнікаў, з сістэмамі, якія спрыяюць глабальнаму росту. Пазней на гэтым тыдні Фонд запусціць новую стратэгію прадастаўлення грантаў. Гэтая стратэгія была распрацавана на аснове шырокіх дыскусій з валанцёрамі і атрымальнікамі грантаў па ўсім свеце. Гэта пацягне за сабой пераход да прадастаўлення грантаў на рэгіянальным узроўні і больш актыўнае ўцягванне членаў супольнасці ў працэс прыняцця рашэнняў аб прадастаўленні грантаў.

We are also increasing our total Foundation grants budget from an estimated over $8 million to $15.6 million, an increase of 95% across movement strategy, community programs, and community resources.

As an additional commitment to this priority, we will work with emerging communities to promote growth across the wikis. We will work with local communities to develop three pilot programs that welcome contributors in parts of the world where Wikimedia is currently underrepresented. Our success will be measured by newcomers from historically underserved populations feeling welcomed and staying. We will continue our current work to support volunteers through an updated grants program, language support, and regional safety protocols in areas where volunteers face risks due to their participation.

Overall, the largest part of new investments this year is the increased investment in Thriving Movement. The Thriving Movement budget has increased from $14.3 million last fiscal year to $36.7 million in this budget which represents an increase of $22.4 million or 157%. It has also grown from being 13.2% of the Foundation’s overall budget to 24.5%.

In order to ensure that our technical systems can support our aspirations for equitable, global growth we will focus on ensuring that our platform and processes are ready and able to invite all of the world’s population to join us in the creation and sharing of free knowledge. This includes making our content more machine readable and scaling our ability to use relationships between content. We will work toward ensuring that people in emerging communities have the same level of performance for their contribution workflows as those in established communities. We will also work toward making Wikimedia application data easily discoverable and well-prepared to enable data-informed decision making, application development, and research by the community and the Foundation.

Resilient and Inclusive Foundation

Our other focus area is strengthening our organizational capacities. A resilient, inclusive organization is essential to meet the needs of our growing global movement, and to champion free knowledge throughout the world. To champion free knowledge we maintain a massive and complex technical collaboration platform, steward Wikimedia’s public image, drive readership and use of Wikimedia content, fund a global network of volunteers and affiliates, and advocate for free knowledge around the world.

This year, we will continue to invest in creating a diverse workforce and an inclusive workplace. Our work will include attracting and hiring top talent from a broad range of backgrounds. We will generate ownership and accountability for inclusion efforts across management tiers and strengthening a workplace culture where people feel valued and able to do their best work.

Furthermore, through targeted interventions aimed at supporting specific underrepresented groups, we will help create equitable outcomes for all staff members at the Wikimedia Foundation. We also seek to strengthen internal capabilities to make data-informed decisions—specifically the ability to allocate costs and measure the impact of initiatives across departments.

Grant increases in FY21-22 include:

  • Funding the new grants strategy
  • Providing budget increases for all regions with the largest increases in Africa, Asia, Latin America and the Middle East
  • Funding for implementing Movement Strategy

Notes: Grants in FY20-21 were budgeted at a higher amount than was spent. COVID impacted grantee programs and movement events and some grantees requested small grants than previous years and/or underspent their grants as a result.
All amounts are based on when grants were awarded to grantees and this does not always match the timing of expenses under US GAAP, which is used in other charts and tables of our budget. For example, the amounts awarded FY20-21 (2021 in chart) were partially recorded as expenses in 2020 but awarded to our grantees in 2021, so listed here in 2021. Additionally, 2021 amounts are preliminary estimates.
