Re: [Wikimedia-l] [Wikipedia 20] Rapid Grant survey

[Chris "Jethro" Schilling]

Hi Ruby,

Thanks for your question. Grantees receiving Simple Annual Plan Grants are
not eligible for additional funding through Rapid Grants, so you do not
need to apply through Rapid Grants to hold an Wikipedia20 anniversary
event.

Affiliates are able to request a reallocation funding from their SAPG
budget to support this kind of event. This can come from a miscellaneous
budget that you mentioned, but funding can also be reallocated from any
other budget where there is underspend that could be used for these
activities.  Please contact sim...@wikimedia.org to request a reallocation
if you need to.

With thanks,

Chris

Re: [Wikimedia-l] Resolution to pause Movement Brand Project through March 2021

[Paulo Santos Perneta]

Hello,

I've read it, and the recommendations sounded all with good sense, and on
point.
I believe there is an excellent base there for future work on the subject.
You've done a good job, despite the difficult conditions.

Just a minor curiosity: The percentages of Africa and Asia participations
on the survey are absent from there, can they be seen somewhere, or shared?

Thanks,
Paulo

[Wikimedia-l] FY1920 Fundraising Report

[Patricia Pena]

Hi everyone,


We have just completed and published our annual report that summarises
fundraising activities for the financial year covering July 1, 2019 - June
30, 2020. Wikipedia is supported by people — people around the world who
read knowledge on the site, editors who contribute their time to add and
improve articles with up-to-date information, and donors who chip in to
keep Wikipedia thriving. We are proud to present our 2019-2020 Fundraising
Report  and
share insights into how the Wikimedia Foundation earns revenue to sustain
the Wikimedia projects. Thank you to everyone who supports our mission to
ensure that everyone, everywhere, can share in and access free knowledge.


Long term financial sustainability is at the core of our department’s
activities, an importance that holds further weight given the ongoing
challenges faced globally. The report highlights the importance of growing
support to the endowment and notes the ongoing focus on our monthly giving
donor program.


A huge thanks to all those across the Wikimedia Foundation, affiliates, and
volunteers, who have contributed to the success of this year's fundraiser.
Without that support, we wouldn’t be able to deliver the resources needed
for the movement to fulfill and achieve its mission. I'd also like to thank
everyone who contributed and collaborated on this report: Online
Fundraising, Major Gifts & Endowment, Fundraising Operations, Donor
Services, Fundraising Tech, Legal, Communications, Finance, Product
Analytics and more! Special thanks to Runjini Murthy for project managing
this entire effort.


We welcome your feedback and questions on the talk page.

Thank you,

Pats
