To clarity a little further :
Each FCRA Prior permission application is for receiving a specific amount, for a specific purpose and from a specific donor. This is not a blanket permission for all donations/grants for anyone ( foreign entities).
More Info : http://mha.nic.in/fcra.htm
The next step is for full FCRA registration, which will facilitate the better receipt of foreign contributions.. However, such permissions are only granted to organizations with a proven track record of function in their chosen field of work for a_period of /three years/. _Well, That is a long way to go !
But till then, Individuals and Organizations in India can help the chapter to grow forward :) http://wiki.wikimedia.in/Donate

Good news. I guess this means the Chapter can receive funding from the Foundation and other foreign bodies?
No, just the Foundation and a specific amount for now.
