2012-13 Fundraising Agreement (DE)

From Meta, a Wikimedia project coordination wiki

The 2012-13 Chapter Fundraising Agreement covers chapter fundraising from July 1, 2012, to June 30, 2013.

This agreement defines the scope of the fundraising partnership between the Wikimedia Foundation, Inc. (hereafter "WMF") and Wikimedia Wikimedia Deutschland e.V., Obentrautstr.72 10963 Berlin, Germany (and its wholly owned subsidiary, Wikimedia Foerdergesellschaft) (hereafter "Chapter"). WMF agrees to direct local potential donors to Chapter's fundraising website by using the IP address (and estimated geographic location) of visitors to Wikimedia sites during the Term. The Chapter in return agrees to observe certain fundraising, donor privacy, and compliance and reporting practices, and to seriously consider sharing revenues consistent with the determination and approval of the WMF Board of Trustees, in support of the global mission of Wikimedia.

Background[edit]

This agreement is designed to specify the separate responsibilities of WMF and the Chapter in fundraising and to establish principles of a successful relationship. A diversity of small donors is important for preserving the independence of the Wikimedia projects, and WMF is committed to pursuing a model of distributed fundraising with global, multilingual, and Chapter-supported outreach to donors.

This partnership is founded on shared principles of fundraising in the Wikimedia movement, including: [1]

  1. Providing clear information about whom donors are supporting and how donations are used.
  2. Protecting the security and confidentiality of donor information and clearly communicating those practices to donors.
  3. Accounting publicly for funds raised and the finances of the recipient organization.
  4. Sending timely thank-you messages and receipts to donors where donors' data are available.
  5. Maintaining appropriate and compliant organizational and technical infrastructure and policies (such as an active treasurer, secured databases, and effective payment systems).
  6. Collaborating with an open community on messaging, testing, public outreach, etc., with the aim of running the most efficient possible fundraiser, while staying true to the spirit of the Wikimedia movement, to keep the site banner free for as much of the year as possible.

Our commitment to working together means sharing successes and failures. It also means working with the international Wikimedia movement on joint fundraising campaigns, irrespective of geography or chapter affiliation, including general communications to donors.

Any changes in future Renewal Periods must be approved by WMF in advance. The Chapter will place a link to this policy, a translation, or an approved variant on the Chapter fundraising landing page.

    2. Providing a daily report and properly tracking all data regarding the fundraiser as may be requested by WMF. Such reporting and tracking should include the number of donations, the average size of donation, and the origin of the donation (such as banner tracking information, and the number of hits and completions to particular fundraising landing pages).

For instance, recurring donations, check donations, any refunds, chargebacks or other contingencies.


The parties acknowledge that WMF's referral of visitors is contingent upon the ability to legally and technically implement industry standard technology to identify the geography of visitors.

Fundraising revenue sharing[edit]

The parties agree and acknowledge that this agreement is entered into on the assumption that the maximum amount of fundraising revenues collected by the Chapter, or through its subsidiary, will be contributed for future distribution to the global Wikimedia movement. The parties however acknowledge that this assumption is subject to applicable laws and independence principles. As a result, the Chapter will give serious consideration, if permitted by local law, to the transfer of all fundraising revenues received pursuant to this agreement to WMF, for redissemination to the Wikimedia movement, less any amounts determined by the Board of Trustees to be retained by the Chapter. Such approval by the WMF Board of Trustees may be preceded by recommendations from the Funds Dissemination Committee. It is understood that the Chapter may retain actual reasonable fundraising expenses up to a maximum of 10% of fundraising revenue collected. As required by this agreement, the Chapter will provide an accounting of all fundraising expenses to WMF, to be shared with the WMF Board of Trustees or the Funds Dissemination Committee (or both).

The following fundraising revenue of the Chapter is excluded from this agreement:

  1. Restricted gifts, such as third-party grants by foundations or governments.
  2. Individual donations given directly to the Chapter outside the scope of this agreement, including such donations given to the Chapter through its local chapter website (as opposed to fundraising through banners and other communications on the Wikimedia projects and other sites covered by this agreement).

Contributions to WMF should be made by April 1, 2013, and September 1, 2013, and should account for revenue received up to January 31, 2013, and June 30, 2013, respectively. Contributions may be based on best estimates of revenues with subsequent adjustments as accounts are finalized. At the beginning of any Renewal Period, WMF shall set the dates for contributions.

If required by local law or regulations, WMF will provide a brief annual summary to document WMF's general uses of the Chapter's contributions. Upon request by the Chapter, WMF will provide a receipt or similar document for any funds transferred from the Chapter to WMF.

Other legal considerations[edit]

  1. Nothing in this agreement shall be construed to make either party the partner, joint venturer, legal representative, or agent of the other party. Neither party shall have the right or authority to assume, create, or incur any liability or any obligation of any kind, either expressed or implied, in the name or on behalf of the other party.
  2. If they disagree, both parties agree to a mandatory mediation process (before going to a court) to be conducted in person before a certified mediator agreed by the parties. Upon completion of good faith mediation and certification of an impasse by the mediator, either party may bring suit no sooner than 30 days following the certification of impasse.
  3. As a condition of this agreement, the Chapter agrees to report immediately to the legal department of WMF any knowledge or reasonable suspicion of malfeasance or allegation of unlawful behavior, including the misappropriation of donations or improper disclosure of donor information.
  4. The Chapter shall report immediately to the legal department of WMF any warnings, notices, charges, or allegations by authorities relating to the activities or responsibilities of the Chapter during the applicable dates of this agreement or in relationship to conduct or lack thereof relating to or arising under this agreement.
  5. WMF may, in its discretion, audit (or have its auditors audit) the financial and fundraising operations of the Chapter upon reasonable notice to the Chapter, but no more than once a year, unless there is a reasonable suspicion of misappropriation of donations or improper disclosure of donor information (in which case there is no limitation on the number of audits). The parties will ensure the audit is conducted in such a manner to avoid the disclosure of personally identifiable information of donors or that the audit is conducted in a manner conducive to European privacy laws.
  6. If the actions of the Chapter or its officers or trustees are in violation of this agreement, the Chapter agrees to indemnify and hold WMF and its officers and trustees harmless from and against all claims arising therefrom, including any expense or liability arising from all claims, losses, damages (both actual and consequential), suits, judgments, litigation costs, and reasonable attorneys' fees, of every kind.
  7. WMF and the Chapter agree that in the unlikely event of litigation, venue shall be proper only in the courts of competent jurisdiction for San Francisco County, California. WMF and the Chapter agree to be subject to the personal jurisdiction of said courts for purposes of any action brought related to this agreement.
  8. This Agreement shall automatically renew at the conclusion of the initial Term of one (1) year for up to two (2) additional one year terms, each a Renewal Period, unless either party provides written notice to the other of its intention not to renew at least sixty (60) days in advance of the expiration of the then current term. Unless otherwise stated, all deadlines set forth herein shall be applicable in subsequent Renewal Periods for the applicable year. (i.e. September 1, 2012, in a Renewal Period becomes September 1, 2013)
  9. This agreement may be terminated by either party upon thirty days written notice in the event of: (1) a material breach by the other party; (2) loss of non-profit or charity status; or (3) failure of Chapter to meet a deadline set forth in this agreement. WMF may immediately terminate this agreement in the event: (1) the Chapter is in violation of applicable local laws, including but not limited to privacy, advertising, and fundraising laws and regulations; or (2) there is reasonable proof of malfeasance by the Chapter, or its employees, volunteers, contractors, or agents with regards to donor funds or fundraising activities.
  10. WMF may terminate or suspend any fundraising activity covered under this agreement or any subsequent fundraising agreement, if, as determined in the discretion of the WMF Executive Director, the Chapter does not adhere to either, a published WMF Board of Trustee decision or resolution on the dissemination of funds to the Wikimedia movement (unless legal or regulatory restrictions prevent such adherence).
  11. This agreement is subject to the laws of the United States of America and the State of California, without regard to conflict of law rules.
  12. This agreement is personal to the parties and may not be assigned or transferred and any attempt to do so is void.

Notes[edit]

  1. See WMF Board of Trustees resolution of October 10, 2010.
  2. Generally, vistors would be directed to the WMF fundraising landing page.
  3. A premium may include, for example, merchandise as an incentive for a donation.
  4. The parties preferably should do this earlier.
  5. For instance, the Chapter will need to complete paperwork and reports required by regulatory requirements, provide donors with documentation of their gifts, such as tax receipts where required, and thanking donors for their support.
