I am pleased to announce that the Wikimedia Foundation's audited financial statements for the years ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 are available on the Foundation wiki
Thank you. I see (p. 5, 11): *Special event revenue, net: 11,995/0 (2009/2010) *Special event expense: 0/70,407 (2009/2010) *Temporarily restricted net assets, Restricted to scholarships for Wikimania: 60,237/0 (2009/2010) The "special event" is only Wikimania, isn't it? How are costs and income shared between WMF and organizers? (I don't understand how costs and income are split between years, but this is not so important.)
«Contributions receivable represent gift amounts due from various entities» (p. 8): does this include chapters? With regard to the WMF share on donations to chapters under the fundraising agreement, is this amount considered a donation even if chapters are more or less (it's complicated) obliged to transfer it to the WMF? I guess that the taxation would be different if e.g. you invoiced the chapters.
