I thought WMF board is chosen by Wikimedians and Wikimedia Foundation has the help to all WMF projects in its basical documents. So next time, we should chose just those candidates to he board, who will be willing to to give some portion of help.
I heard from WMF related people, that other projects are not so efficient, so they dont have more help. But they will never be more efficent without a help as they grow in the "shade of Wikipedia". If you provide them more light (in this case support from mother organisation) - they will have more equal conditions to Wikipedia and they can show up to be the same or more efficient as wp. I am really sad to here voices in our chapter, we will not help other projects, because WMF doesnt support them. Its really sad. When I enter to the chapter I had to agree with the bylaws, that sais the Chapter is the local support for WMF project in the area. There is no word about inequality between project.
