Lokal Veräiner

D'Wikimedia Projeten hunn eng international Ausriichtung, an d'Wikimedia-Bewegung huet schonn e bedeitenden Impakt an der ganzer Welt. Fir dëse Succès op engem organisatorischen Niveau weiderzebréngen, ass Wikimedia amgaang en internationale Reseau vun associéierten Organisatiounen opzebauen. Et gëtt elo esou 'Wikimedia chapters' a(n) 37 Länner.

Local chapters are self-dependent organizations that share the goals of the Wikimedia Foundation and support them within a specified geographical region. They support the Wikimedia Foundation, the Wikimedia community and the Wikimedia projects in different ways - by collecting donations, organizing local events and projects and spreading the word of Wikimedia and Free Culture. They also provide the volunteer community and potential partners and supporters with a point of contact capable of fulfilling specific local needs.

If you have questions about local chapters or want to start one in your country, please don't hesitate to contact the Chapters committee.

Please note that the local chapters are independent associations with no legal control of or responsibility for the websites of the Wikimedia Foundation and vice versa.

Chapters participating in the 2008/2009 Annual Campaign

The following chapters have agreed to participate in the 2008/2009 Annual Campaign. This means that the chapters will invest 50% of the revenue raised during the course of the fundraiser in activities agreed upon with the Wikimedia Foundation, and 50% in local program activities. So, for example, if a chapter raises USD 50,000, it could spend USD 25,000 on servers for our European data-center, and USD 25,000 on local activities such as outreach events, contests, content partnerships, etc.

Chapters participating in the campaign have also agreed to submit weekly activity reports to the Wikimedia Foundation, and to follow generally established accounting practices.
