Hello there,
In light of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the Wikimedia Foundation is aware of the enormous difficulties and pressures this has on individuals as well as affiliate organizations in general. The committee recognizes the impact this may have on affiliates being able to submit their required annual activity and/or financial reports on time. Should your organization be unable to meet its reporting deadline, please reach out to us in order to propose a revised timeline for your report.
We recognize also that, for legal entities local legal requirements may still require your organization to meet reporting deadlines, in that case, please attend to your local requirements and reach out if there is any adjustment to the expectation for your submission to the reports portal on meta.
When you are ready to submit your report on meta, you will be able to share your report via our new Affiliates data portal [1].
We understand the Foundation’s Community Resources team is also working to develop guidance around reporting and the impact of COVID-19 on the event and reporting timelines. We will work to also align with these guidelines as they become available.

Kindest regards
