| Strategies | Programs & Objectives | Budget 2023 |
The budget outlines the income and expenses we expect for 2023 for the Wikimedia Deutschland e. V. and the non-profit Wikimedia Fördergesellschaft mbH and how they are composed. The budget 2023 was approved by the Supervisory Board on December 6, 2022.
Questions or comments on the presentation of the economic plan can be submitted on the discussion page. More information about which goals Wikimedia Deutschland wants to achieve with the funds and what we plan to do in 2023 can be found on the pages Strategies and Programs & Objectives.
The volume of the 2023 business plan increases by 22 % compared to the updated 2022 business plan. In terms of expenses, the focus of growth is on the technology field of activity. We see slight increases in the field of volunteers and conditions for free knowledge, in the costs for general public relations and advertising costs.

Additional information
- Donations: The accounting standard HFA 21, which has been applied by Wikimedia for years, stipulates that donations are only booked as revenue when they have been spent. For a better understanding, we have listed the actual donation income planned for 2023 under the heading " Revenues", even though, strictly speaking, this is not revenue in the sense of HFA21. In addition, there is a presentation of the flow of donations below. This shows how many donations have not yet been used, how many donations have flowed in from which source, and how many donations have been spent.
- Membership dues: Over 110,000 members and supporting members contribute to the financing with their membership dues.
- Project funding: Under this position we plan the funds we receive from third parties. Most of this money comes from the Wikimedia Foundation.
- Public Relations and Advertising & Administrative Expenses: Here, the expenses are planned that are allocated to the respective expense category according to the usual standards in the non-profit sector.
- Adjustments: Payments between Wikimedia Deutschland e. V. and the non-profit Wikimedia Fördergesellschaft mbH are shown in the column "Adjustments".
