Hello,
Thank you all for the appreciation.
It's true that WMID started small but eventually got bigger and bigger funding[1]. After successful projects people begin to notice our existence, we start to have larger networks, and eventually people trust us with money, then repeat the cycle (sometimes the amount of money increases significantly, yes). Just like building a good resume of our organization.
And thanks, Nathan for spotting our error. We've fixed it now.
Best, Isabella

but it is based on one size fits all. It is firmly concentrated on Wikipedia and that is not good. Thanks, GerardM
Gerard, they have several non-Wikipedia projects. For a tiny organization with one employee and less than $300k in net assets, I think that's a pretty good start. Your criticism is, I think, unfounded. Congratulations to WM-ID for a strong report and a very positive contribution to the Wikimedia movement.
Quick note on the report: In paragraph two, there is an error in the
dates
of the lease agreement on the English side - it should read 2014-2016,
not
2016-2016. In paragraph 4, the starting account balance should be written in rupiah, not dollars.
