Grantmaking season—rumblings in the German-language community
The next twice-yearly round of Funds Dissemination Committee (FDC) grantmaking is soon to close for community questioning and commentary. Ten nation-based Wikimedia chapters and one thematic organisation are asking for a total of more than US5ドルM of donors’ money from the Foundation’s renamed annual plan grant process. Aside from Wikimedia UK (708ドルk), the three biggest asks are from the German-speaking chapters: Wikimedia Germany is asking for 2ドル.4M and Wikimedia Austria 311ドルk; and the German-language-related Swiss chapter is applying for 500ドルk.
