They are an independent organisation with whom we have worked and hope to continue to work.
We are not currently funding them in any way. We do have an active member of the chapter associated with them, (who has declared any potential conflicts of interest) who is working with us to promote Wikimedia projects in line with our programme.
As to their status on their website they state:
BritishBlackMusic.com (BBM) is an online resource providing information about music, music business, and music business education with a bias towards British and black music. Its off-line activities include cultural industries research, consultancy, music business courses, and it organises seminars, conferences, and the Black Music Congress (BMC) debates.
If you want to know more I suggest you contact them.

Could someone explain if there is a partnership agreement on record with BBM or BTWSC and whether these are registered commercial or non-profit organizations?
