Notes[edit]
- ↑ Is the chapter formally recognized as a Nonprofit organization under its nation's laws? "n/a" should be used if the country's laws do not recognize a nonprofit status.
- ↑ corporation information
- ↑ A small no profit association doesn't require the formal approval. It's sufficient to follow the law and to have a bylaws compliant with to the law[1][2]. The tax exemption has been formally approved [3].
- ↑ All associations are non-profit by definition in the Czech republic.
- ↑ All associations in Spain have Non profit status.
- ↑ Wikimédia Magyarország is a registered association at the Court and all registered associations are non-profit by definition in Hungary. Wikimédia Magyarország is recognized as "organization for the public benefit" status which means: transparency requirements, tax exemptions, tax deductibility etc.
- ↑ Based on Wikimedia Indonesia Board of Executive Meeting.
- ↑ Officially approved by Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism of South Korea since 2015.
- ↑ At the founding team's request, the provisional approval was extended by the WMF executive director until April 2013.
- ↑ Officialy recognized as Wikimedia México A.C. (civic association) under Mexican laws since February 2013.
- ↑ There is no separate official non-profit status. However, we have been granted charity status (ANBI) by the tax office since January 2010, which, among other demands, requires that the organization is a non-profit by its bylaws and operates as a non-profit in practice. During 2012 we were busy to prepare the chapter for the CBF certificate for 'small charities'.
- ↑ All associations are non-profit by definition in Poland
- ↑ All organizations in Portugal have Non profit status.
