Hi Chuck,
since this is hopefully a less busy season of the year, have the internal discussions yielded anything that might help in breaking these numbers down a little bit more? :-)
Best, Philip

Hi folks,
Thanks for sharing your thoughts about how this information could be
useful
for local affiliates and communities. We'll discuss internally to see if
we
might be able to share more information in the future in order to achieve those benefits in ways that don't raise legal concerns or create
excessive
overhead for our fundraising team. We're entering into the busiest time
of
the year for online fundraising, though, so it'll be at least a few
months
before we are able to address the question internally.

Thanks Chuck for digging out that old email, it does explain why this
isn't
done for every country. Chris and Sandra have a point though, because this can't be a legal
issue
for most European countries for example. In return, the local
organisations
and communities would benefit from an added layer of feedback based on their work.
Furthermore, how and how much we fundraise will be one of the important talking points when implementing the recommendations, especially to
set a
benchmark to evaluate if involving local organisations in the
fundraising
process actually works or not.
Best, Philip

I agree with Chris. Furthermore: Wikimedia Nederland, like all chapters, puts a lot of

Hi Chuck,
The reasons the question keeps getting asked is because it was
never
really
answered in the first place.
The only good reason I can think of for not publishing
country-level
data
is that there are some countries where that could create risks to
the
WMF
or individuals because they're places where giving donations to a
US
nonprofit is either illegal or politically risky.
However that doesn't apply to most countries, so why not publish
the
data
for most of the world?

Hi Philip,
We do not publish country-level fundraising numbers. My colleague
Stephen
discussed why on this list a few years back, so rather than
paraphrasing
his previous email I'll just provide a link to it:
