The WikiCredibility Grants Initiative is now accepting proposals for grants of up to $10,000.  The WikiCredibility Grants Initiative (WikiCred), a project of Hacks/Hackers, invites applications from people, groups, or organizations looking for financial support to create tools, projects, or initiatives that strengthen the credibility and reliability of information within Wikimedia projects.

Hacks/Hackers is a fast-growing grassroots journalism organization with thousands of members on four different continents and dozens of organizations (and counting). The goal of Hacks/Hackers is to establish a network of journalists and technologists who are rethinking the future of news and information.

Projects and topics focusing on online trust and trustworthiness, information veracity, reliability, and integrity, as well as the conception of novel solutions and new information networks and systems, should be clearly in line with the overarching mission of the Hacks/Hackers and MisinfoCon communities.
