Dear Lucy,
I just wanted to share my congratulations to you and the team on this excellent news. I know that you worked incredibly hard to pull together a solid case for support and I am delighted that the FDC has recognised your efforts.
I look forward to working with you and fellow Trustees and members to implement the new strategy and support your plans.
With best regards,
Nick

Subject: [Wikimediauk-l] FDC recommendations for funding
Dear all
As many of you will know, Wikimedia UK applies every year to the Wikimedia Foundation for an Annual Plan Grant to support our charitable activities. Proposals from the UK and other Chapters are considered by the Funds Dissemination Committee (FDC) who make recommendations to the Foundation's board for final approval.
Following our proposal submitted at the end of September, the FDC has recommended that Wikimedia UK is supported with a grant of £297,500 for 2016/17, which is 96% of our total request and an increase on the amount received for the current financial year. We are very pleased with this recommendation, and I would like to thank all the staff, board members and volunteers who inputted into the development of our plans for next year and the funding proposal. The team and I look forward to working with many of you on the delivery of our programmes next year!
You can read the FDC's assessment here:
Best wishes
Lucy
