1. Current state of movement funding
1a. Roughly what % of global fundraising is currently allocated to affiliates, or other entities + projects not run by the WMF? (my poor guess)
1b. Roughly how much regional fundraising goes directly to major affiliates?
1c. Which affiliates with annual plan grants have been growing over time, and how is the expansion of existing budgets approved?
1d. Which affiliates have gotten their first APG in the past five years, and how has that developed over time?
2. Current review process
2a. How is funding by WMF of movement affiliates (general operations, and large specific projects) currently determined? Does the Board engage with this?
2b. Is the funding of affiliate work linked to goals of increasing equity across the world, and supporting underrepresented communities? If so, how / how is this visualized?
2c. What other mechanisms for focusing and allocating resources are good examples to replicate?
2d. What other bilateral projects (such as joint projects, and grant or microgrant programs), run by large affiliates and hubs other than the WMF, currently exist? Which seem like examples to replicate?
3. Desired futures!
3a. What movement bodies are expected to play any role in recommendations about funding (extending, withdrawing, denying funding) to new and existing affiliates, now that the FDC is inactive?
3b. Is there a possibility of the FDC returning? How do past FDC members have about this? What was found to be good and bad about the FDC process?
3c. What elements of this is the global council expected to take up in its first year? What elements are hubs expected to take up, now and in the future?
3d. What roles do we envision each of {WMF, hubs, affiliates, community members} to play in reviewing movement budgets/plans and the volume and focus of future funding [re]allocation?
