Dear all
As many of you will know, Wikimedia UK applies every year to the Wikimedia
Foundation for an Annual Plan Grant to support our charitable activities.
Proposals from the UK and other Chapters are considered by the Funds
Dissemination Committee (FDC) who make recommendations to the Foundation's
board for final approval.
Following our proposal submitted at the end of September, the FDC has
recommended that Wikimedia UK is supported with a grant of £297,500 for
2016/17, which is 96% of our total request and an increase on the amount
received for the current financial year. We are very pleased with this
recommendation, and I would like to thank all the staff, board members and
volunteers who inputted into the development of our plans for next year and
the funding proposal. The team and I look forward to working with many of
you on the delivery of our programmes next year!
