Dear members of the Wikimedia community, On behalf of the Board of Trustees of the Wikimedia Foundation, I want to share the news that we have approved [1] the Funds Dissemination Committee’s Round 2 2014-2015 recommendations [2] for the Annual Plan Grants. In this round, five Wikimedia organizations will be receiving a total of roughly $1,248,913, for a total of $5,060,913 allocated in both rounds in 2014-2015. Grants are made in local currency, so the USD figure is approximate. The remaining $939,087 from the FDC’s $6 million grants envelope this year will be returned to the Wikimedia Foundation. Congratulations to Wikimedia Armenia, Wikimedia Italia, Wikimedia Norge, Wikimédia France <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:APG/Proposals/2014-2015_round2/Wikim%C3%A9dia_France/Proposal_form>, and Centre for Internet and Society (CIS)! To the volunteers, staff, and boards of these organizations receiving annual plan grants, we commend you for your good work. It is not easy to develop strategic and impactful annual plans, and we thank you for all you have done. We look forward to the year ahead. Sincerely, Frieda and María, on behalf of the WMF Board of Trustees [1] https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:APG/Board_decisions/2014-2015_round2 [2] https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:APG/FDC_portal/FDC_recommendations/2… [3] https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:APG/Proposals ___________________________________________ Frieda Brioschi mail: ubifrieda(a)gmail.com - skype: ubifrieda cell: 328 0731320 http://it.linkedin.com/in/frieda
