Hi everyone,
A quick email to share with you a good news on our side.
A few month ago, Wikimedia France started a process to apply for a third party certification called IDEAS. This certification is the first step
for
us in a process to get recognized Wikimedia France as a serious organisation that can be formally trusted by donors.
IDEAS label is hard to get as you have to reach high criterias on 3
grounds
:
- Governance
- Accounting
- Actions effectiveness
The process took a little over 6 month, and required us to provide them with documents, interviews and explanations of what we are and what we’re doing.
I’m proud to say that thanks to the work of many, and especially our
staff,
we received it with flying colors. Usually, IDEAS grant the label and includes recommendations for the organization to even do better.
They failed to provide any recommendation in our case and expressed large congratulations for exceeding their expectations.
Second step, starting now, is to get formal recognition of Wikimedia
France
as a General Interest organisation by the french government. Around 10 non-profits get such recognition every year, and right now only 633 organisations have it.
We hope to get it in the coming month.
All the best,
Christophe HENNER | Président
