Global Development
The Wikimedia Foundation's Global Development team exists to provide for focused efforts to build Wikimedia's projects in places we are not yet the ubiquitous knowledge resource that we are in places like Europe, North America and Japan. It resulted from the Wikimedia Strategic Plan that identified the need to attract new editors and readers to our projects in places where we haven't yet gained traction. (Read the rest of the introduction to Global Development.)
Our diverse team is a combination of staff and consultants located in India, Brazil, Egypt and the United States. We are committed to having local teams work on local issues so we are part of our working environments. The team includes 8 nationalities with 59% non-American and 75% of the San Francisco team has lived outside of the United States. It is a part of our job to connect with people around the world, so we travel frequently and seek to meet and listen to community members in the places where we work.

Catalyst programs
Global Development is currently focusing on supporting growth of Wikimedia projects in the following regions: Brazil, India, and Arabic language countries. The Catalyst program model is intended to both achieve direct impact and serve to generate important lessons on ways to support growth in geographies where Wikimedia's projects are not yet achieving their full potential.Fundraising
The fundraiser is turning into something that educates Wikimedia users about how our projects and movement work. Tens of millions of users click on banners and read the appeals every year. The primary mission of the Wikimedia Foundation fundraising team is now to improve that educational function. Imagine future campaigns that focus on recruiting new editors more than new donors. That's what we're trying to get to.
Legal and Community Advocacy
Legal and Community Advocacy team members oversee all legal matters for the Foundation and focus on key initiatives to help support the community consistent with our Foundation goals and values. This team deals with a wide range of issues and projects, including policy drafting, trademark and copyright law, international law, employment law, litigation, fundraising and grant law, domestic and international contracts, privacy law, ethics, internet law, and non-profit corporate governance.
The team is also charged with carrying forward the Foundation’s goals of advocating for the community in new ways, including fighting for content online, facilitating community discussions about critical Wikimedia Foundation initiatives that affect the community, better supporting Wikimedia administrators and functionaries, and providing information about legal and legislative issues that impact online content.
Learn more about the team's responsibilities.
- The Legal & Community Advocacy Department runs a legal internship program to educate and train promising law students or recent law school graduates in the areas of Internet law and free knowledge organizations. The team is looking for legal interns for every Summer, Fall, and Spring semester. See our previous legal interns.
