Other income from public and annual membership fee (unrestricted funding) is continuing but the contribution is insignificant therefore it is not used to project based effort, we use it for member's annual meeting and meet up, gifts shirts etc.

Funds Dissemination Needs and Timing
[edit]- 12. Do you anticipate requesting funding through either the Funds Dissemination Committee (FDC) or the WMF grants process for your next financial year (e.g., 2013)? If so, how much (in $US)?
- Unrestricted USD 100,000 and USD 50,000 restricted for re-granting, but we haven't decided yet. Still in discussion phase.
- 13. What would be your ideal timeline for requesting and receiving funds from the FDC or WMF grants process? (e.g., "request in November/December, receive in January”)
- Decision should be take less than two weeks, an ideal full cycle would be: week one is lobbying phase, week two details clean up from lobbying phase, week three administrative paperwork straighten up, week four wire transfer completed. Make this decision transparent for public, but not the lobbying phrase, you don't want to stage your "grant fight" like doing window shopping for video games.
- 14. By what date would you need to receive funds through the FDC or WMF grants process? (i.e., At what date will your ability to carry out planned activities be damaged if you haven’t received funding?)
- At any date any "promised" funding dependent activities will be damaged if funding is not received. (Can you fix the question?)
- 15. Do you have any questions about the funds dissemination process that you need to have resolved in order to plan your chapter’s next financial year? By what date do you need an answer?
- Just waiting, if it has a clean, easy process, we'll ask for funding, if not and it gave more problem than solution, we wait - and probably won't ask funding.
Additional Comments or Questions
[edit]Please use this section for any comments or questions you have about the funds dissemination process.
- Please see previous WMID grant requests [1], [2] [3], in the presence of trust, there's an absent of long painful discussion (sample). If FDC going to look like the recent grant process I gave up, I don't have the time and energy to do what is given in the sample.
We are seeking your input as we develop a set of recommendations for the FDC. We encourage your contribution on the talk pages of the Draft FDC Proposal to the Board.
