Introduction
This is the Art+Feminism application for our Simple APG grant for 16-months starting September 1, 2020 - December 31, 2021. This one-time 16 months request will align our grant cycle with one of the existing WMF Simple APG cycles to hopefully facilitate easier communications, funding, and reporting between WMF and Art+Feminism.
The total amount requested is $4XX,XXX. We recognize this will be an atypical year for many reasons. A silver lining of being in the midst of a global pandemic and a civil rights movement, is the ability and opportunity to take the time for reflection. We’re able to ask some big questions, such as what can Art+Feminism core activities be outside of the typical edit-a-thon? How can we continue to advocate for the inclusion of marginalized communities in the Wikimedia community and beyond? How do we advocate for indigenous voices to be at the table? What can we do internally to center intersectional feminism and anti-racist practices?
We’re grateful that we’re currently entering the first phase of facilitated strategic planning in this existing grant cycle to help us navigate Art+Feminism’s potential in a strategic way. We are requesting support in this application to continue to fund this work.
This application also includes many other exciting and important opportunities for the organization, including, but not limited to:
- It expands and evolves the role of part-time Project Administrator to full-time Program Manager, increasing our overall staff by 33%.
- It includes funds to add a new Regional Organizer (what we refer to internally as Regional Ambassadors) specifically to work with Indigenous Communities. This is vital to increase our work with those communities with care and intention.
- Covering the increase in accounting fees as the organization’s overall budget now exceeds the $250,000 annual threshold which requires a much more formal review of finances.
- With the increase in the accounting line, we'll be able to account for the auditing costs associated with a larger budget, which actually opens up numerous smaller funding opportunities, including exploring peer-to-peer fundraising and overall diversifying funding. Accounts for operational line items that weren’t previously accounted for such as payroll taxes.
- This budget also includes a small, but important move for Art+Feminism to rent our own mailbox, so it's no longer going to one of the founder's personal PO boxes.
We will continue the work of building a strong organizational foundation for the organization while nurturing our established global community.
