Community Engagement
The Community Engagement team increases the quantity, quality, diversity, and reach of free knowledge by supporting people and organizations aligned with the Wikimedia Foundation mission. We support contributors by representing them in the development of new technical tools, by supporting community governance, and by making grants to individuals, groups and organizations working on building community and growing content on Wikimedia projects and sites as well as related open knowledge projects. We are committed to supporting under-resourced and emerging regions, languages and communities, particularly in the Global South.

Legal
Legal team members steward globally the values of the Foundation's mission and our community of writers, editors, photographers, and other contributors. The team oversees all legal matters for the Foundation and facilitates initiatives designed to support and grow our community and their various projects, including Wikipedia and its sister Wikimedia websites. The team deals with a wide range of issues and projects to protect and defend our key values when challenged. The team's work includes policy drafting, trademark law, 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 free knowledge movement in new ways, including fighting for content online, facilitating community discussions about critical Wikimedia Foundation policies, building and overseeing good governance where appropriate, and working to improve legal and legislative policy to aid the dissemination and use of free knowledge.
