• The Wikimedia movement aims for a long term relationship with its donors, rather than treating the annual fundraiser in isolation
• Amongst our donors are current and future contributors, volunteers and partners
• It is in our duty, and our interest, to educate donors about our mission and inspire them to contribute more, both financially and otherwise
• Communications with donors should be accurate, consistent with the values and mission of the Wikimedia movement, and offer the most relevant opportunities to our donors
• Donor information must be held and managed in compliance with laws regarding privacy and data security
• Organizations within the Wikimedia movement should work together to reduce the risk of duplication in communications
