Again good financial news for our organisation!
The Wikimedia Foundation, our "mother" organisation, has approved our programme for the coming six months, and has also approved the associated budget. This financial support, together with your donations, has three goals:
We want Belgian Wikipedians, people interested in free knowledge, and the whole public to know that we exist, and to share
with them what we do.
We want people that know our organisation to become member.
We want our members to become active in our organisation and in the Wikimedia environment.
Do you want to know how the money will be spent? Come to our General Assembly, or join a monthly board meeting.
