Andrew sums up the situation in the UK very well. For some Wikimedian in Residence positions they are entirely funded by the chapter. Others involve funding from both the institution and the chapter. A third model involves a residency being funded by a third party. For example, there's a residency which is being announced later this week working with a leading health charity which is being funded by a third party. It's not announced publicly yet, so can't give details, but watch this space!
