Project scope [edit]
Wikimedia NYC would like to expand its capacity for working in the real world and interacting with local institutions, securing our IRS nonprofit status, and maturing as a membership organization.
Project goal [edit]
The goal of this project is to enable a more sustained and professional building of relationships with the institutions of our region, and to enable us to solidify our organizational infrastructure.
This forms a supplement to our previous request Grants:WM US-NYC/Kick start.
Non-financial requirements [edit]
The sharing of relevant Wikimedia Foundation nonprofit management experience, as well as learning whatever is needed to integrate our online infrastructure with other Wikimedia efforts.
Fit to strategy [edit]
The project will help develop the professionalization and credibility of the organization, and its capacity for further such professionalization in the future.
Other benefits [edit]
This project allows us to take advantage of some timely opportunities for cooperation with other groups to use funding for smaller events like Wikipedia at the Library.
Measures of success [edit]
We will consider this project a success if we become better able to manage general operational expenses, and are able to develop and pursue strategies needed for our longer-term existence as an organization.
