Hello folks,
After 8 months, over 400 line items and an infinite amount of emails, I am very pleased to let everyone know that we the finance fellows have completed our movement-wide financial report. It is now available for everyone to read on meta and download.
Here is the link: https://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Movement-wide_Financial_Report
I have to offer my sincerest gratitude to everyone involved with the release of this report. Thank you to all the participating chapters who helped make this report possible. We cannot express our appreciation enough for your helpful responses and guidance to develop this final product. Hopefully, this report proves insightful for you and help us begin to think about more consistent financial reporting.
Thank you Community Engagement, especially Jaime Anstee, Edward Galvez, Winifred Olliff and Katy Love for your guidance throughout this process.
But last and not least, thank you to all volunteers who participate in the Wikimedia projects. Despite the fiscal emphasis of this report, it is your work that is most important and completely invaluable to the movement. Hopefully, you too will find this report useful.
Best,

Hi Pine,
Yes, we would like to discuss it. The main goal of this project is to prompt questions, so further along we will carry out a discussion about this report and try to get as much feedback as we can from the community.
Best,

Hi Lene,
OK, thanks for the update. As you can tell, I am very interested in your work.
I am sensitized to anything having to do with Meta-type documentation and deadlines at the moment, seeing as I am juggling so many of them with intricate dependencies (including weekend projects), but I suppose that I will just need to wait until April for this particular report.
I am very glad that this report is being done. Perhaps we will have a chance to discuss it during an office hour in April?
Thanks,
Pine

Hi Pine,
Thank you for your inquiry and for following up the status of this
project.
We’ve updated the information on our meta page[1], so that it is more
clear
to everyone. We would like to clarify that the Draft Report is a finalization of the raw dataset and is not intended to be published. We
are
currently focusing on representing the data, so that everyone can
easily
understand the outcomes of our project. This will be revised internally
and
the outcome of that will be the Final Report, which will be published
in
April.
All the best,
Lene
