[Wikimedia-l] Board approval of FDC recommendation 2016-2017- Round 1

[Dariusz Jemielniak]

Dear members of the Wikimedia community,

On behalf of the Board of Trustees of the Wikimedia Foundation, I write to
share the news that we have approved [1] the full slate of the FDC’s Round
1 2016-2017 recommendations [2] for the Annual Plan Grants. In this round,
11 organizations will be receiving a total of
roughly US$3,210,000. Grants are made in local currency, so the USD figure
is approximate.

We want to thank the Funds Dissemination Committee members and staff for
the time and effort they have put into this process, as well as all members
of the community who have participated in this round of analysis and
deliberations.
This year introduced the possibility for some organizations to apply for
multi-year funding [3] (a 2-year program) for the first time. We are glad
to see that this was taken into consideration by the FDC and are looking
forward to learn from this pilot how the Wikimedia organizations can better
support long-term programs.

Thank you to all the organizations involved in this round, and for the work
that the volunteers and staff of these organizations have put in to further
our mission.

We are glad to witness that our movement’s efforts to foster thoughtful
planning show in the annual plans of the participating organizations and
are looking forward to the next round of applications in April 2017.

Sincerely,

Dariusz, on behalf of the WMF Board of Trustees
