Wikimedia Polska (WMPL, Wikimedia Polska) is an independent non-profit, membership-based organisation serving as a Wikimedia chapter in Poland. It was created in 2005年 and recognised as the fourth Wikimedia chapter. According to the Bylaws, the purpose of the Association is to equate everyone's chances to access knowledge, both general and specific in the fields of science, culture, education and art as well as to promote and organise volunteering and charity.

Membership

Every Polish citizen over the age of 16 as well as foreign residents of Poland may become regular members of the Association, provided that they have contributed to any of the Wikimedia projects, have filled a membership form, were accepted by the Board and have paid the annual membership fee, which is currently (2005年) set at a minimum of 123 PLN. Corporate bodies may become supporting members of the Association, but they are not allowed voting rights. As of 2025年1月13日, Wikimedia Polska had 123 regular members.

Donations

Wikimedia Polska is supported primarily by voluntary donations from the general public. It has been recognised by Polish authorities as a public benefit organisation since 2007年3月28日. Since then, individuals can donate 1.5% of their income tax to the Association.

Board and Staff

Board

The Board is collectively responsible for and entitled to the governance and representation of the chapter. However, its main focus areas are: strategic planning and control, compliance, finance, fundraising, and overall capacity building. Programme ownership has been gradually delegated to the management team, and execution of the programmes has been delegated to staff and volunteers.

Regular members elect the Board for a two-year term at the General Assembly; the board consists of three to seven members, including the President, Secretary, Treasurer, and at least one Vice President. The current members of the Board were elected during the General Assembly on 2022年6月25日 in Toruń and 2024年6月15日 in Warsaw.

The following members are currently serving on the Board:

  • Wiki Lubi Zabytki (a highly successful edition of Wiki Loves Monuments, including the competition on the national level as well as accompanying exhibitions and other events),
  • Etnokarpaty ("Carpathian Ethnography Project", a cross-border GLAM project conducted in cooperation with Wikimedia affiliates from Ukraine, Slovakia and the Czech Republic)

And much more. See details in yearly reports.

Events

Attendees of 2024 Wikimedian meetup in Opole

Wikimedia Poland has organised several national and local events. Its main multi-day conference is Konferencja Wikimedia Polska ("Wikimedia Polska Conference", organised every late spring or early summer, where guests from outside of the Wikimedia world are invited and where general assemblies of WMPL are held.

Other events are thematic meetings like Winter or Spring Retreats (focused on editing workshops with an element of a foreseen improvisation) and meetups for the most active sister project communities, Wikisource and Wiktionary (Źródłosłów).
