Dear members of the Wikimedia community, On behalf of the Board of Trustees of the Wikimedia Foundation, I write to confirm that the board has approved [1] the full slate of the FDC’s Round 2 2017-2018 recommendations [2] for the Annual Plan Grants. In this round, 5 organizations will be receiving a total of roughly US $1,517,363. Grants are made in local currency, so the USD figure is approximate. The Board wants to thank the Funds Dissemination Committee members and staff for the time and effort they have put into this process, as well as all members of the community who have participated in this round of review, analysis and deliberations. We appreciate and value the efforts put in this process. Thank you to all the organizations who submitted proposals in this round, and for the work that the volunteers and staff of these organizations have put in to further our movement’s mission. Volunteers are at the heart of the Funds Dissemination Committee. We are lucky to have a committee comprised of nine dedicated community members who give a lot of their time and energy into making this funding program a reality. We thank you all for your work this year!
