Welcome Katherine! I'm looking forward to meeting you at the board meeting at the end of the month!

When you have the time, I would recommend having a look at:
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Fundraising_2012
for the starting pages for the 2012 fundraiser (kicking off in November), and:
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Fundraising_2011
for what happened in last year's fundraiser.

Also, the page at:
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/2012-13_Fundraising_Agreement_%28UK%29
is the current draft of the fundraising agreement we'll be operating under this year, and:
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Fundraising_and_Funds_Dissemination
gives some of the background with the global fundraising strategy for the future.

I'd also recommend reading:
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Funds_Dissemination_Committee/Draft_FDC_Proposal_for_the_Board
which gives an idea of where Wikimedia's heading in the future with fundraising and distributing funds.

For all of these pages, be sure to also read (and if you have questions, contribute to) the 'Talk' pages for discussion about the documents. (And ditto everyone else reading this email!)

Hope this helps. :-)

Thanks,
Mike

Hello Everyone!
 
Thanks for the welcome, and I look forward to meeting and speaking with you all over the coming weeks/months as we work towards the 2012 fundraiser and a broader fundraising strategy - exciting stuff. 

I will be at the meeting of the Board of Trustees on the 30th, and will spend the next weeks wrapping up my current job and reading around - so any resources you think might be a 'must see' do feel free to email me directly on katherine.bavage@gmail.com or on here

Thanks,

Katherine
