Talk:Fund drives/2005/Q3 planning/Translations/Fundraising drive letter - en

From Meta, a Wikimedia project coordination wiki

What is the money used for? We need a link like this, and an updated list of what the projected Q3 budget. +sj | Translate the Quarto |+

In more detail : Why was there no Q2 fundraiser? We seem to have spent more money than we have raised this year; where did it come from? We have received generous donations of hardware and hosting from many sources; why is the amount to be raised still so high? &c. Much more information can be usefully provided; this can come directly from the Board and technical team making purchasing decisions (who is that now, btw?), it need not come second-hand from the people who signed up to help with the fund drive. +sj | Translate the Quarto |+ 19:52, 15 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]


Donations can be made in the currency of your choice. They are tax deductible in the United States and Germany.

To avoid misunderstandings it should be made clear that tax deductibility in Germany only applies for donations to Wikimedia Deutschland e.V. -- Arne (akl) 20:58, 15 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Same would apply to donations made to the French Chapter. We still need to work out if we want to allow this, and if yes, how is Foundation getting the money back? notafish }<';> 22:50, 15 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
