The model must enable each entity to carry out financial > planning to support efforts to be sustainable. > * Decentralization: Funds must be distributed in ways that support > decentralized programmatic activities for furthering our mission. > * Responsibility and accountability: Funds must be distributed in ways > that enable the Wikimedia movement to confidently assure donors that > their donations will be safeguarded appropriately, and that spending > will be in line with our mission and with the messages used to attract > donors. > * Collaboration and openness: Funds must be distributed in ways that are > collaborative and open, and which respect the diverse and international > nature of the Wikimedia movement. > > == Reference Links == > * http://board.wikimedia.org/wiki/Chapters_fundraising/Guiding_Principles > * [[m:Draft Guiding principles with regards to funds distribution|Draft > Guiding principles with regards to funds distribution]] > * [[m:Draft Guiding principles with regards to fundraising|Draft Guiding > principles with regards to fundraising]] > > > Greetings > _______________________________________________ foundation-l mailing list [email protected] Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-l
