I misspoke slightly; WCA fees were submitted in budget requests, but the amounts were removed from the allocations themselves[1]. Sorry for the inaccuracy there.

Presumably Round 1 disbursements have already been made, which means that the chapters in receipt of funds can choose to spend them how they see fit. But I don't recall seeing plans to donate money to the WCA in funding requests to the FDC, and I suspect that since the WMF has chosen not to recognize the WCA any chapter that donates a portion of their FDC funding to the WCA will find it difficult to receive funds again in the current or subsequent rounds. Nemo seems to be saying that is self-evident, but it doesn't seem so clear cut to me.
FDC / WMF Grants is not the only source of chapter's funding for all chapters. (Not that I'm saying asking for 2 or 3 chapters who does have such alternative funding to pay for WCA is realistic.)
