- committees installed by the WMF board
- Wikimedia Projects (wiki websites, sister projects):
- Wikipedia, in more than 250 language versions
- other content related wikis
- 'backstage' wikis or organization wikis, such as this Meta Wiki
- Wikimedia affiliates:
- National Wikimedia Chapters, with the umbrella Wikimedia Chapters Association

More generally speaking, Wikimedia stakeholders are also part of the Wikimedia movement (readers of Wikimedia content, donors, schools, GLAM, similar-minded institutions, and companies co-operating with the Wikimedia Foundation or other Wikimedia organizations).
