地域基金委員会（RFC※、地域基金委員会、地域助成金委員会）の主な役割は、申請者に知識と専門知識を提供する戦略的思考パートナーであり、ウィキメディア財団の資金調達地域の複雑さを理解し（※＝Regional Fund Committees）、地域ごとの助成金申請において資金調達を決定し、運動活動の成功を支援するための存在です。
ウィキメディア財団の助成金プログラムの要点とはボランティア委員会類が占める役割にあり、資金配分の決定に加えて申請者に指導と支援の両方を提供する点にあります。委員会の継続は運動戦略の勧告に基づき、特定の種別の取り組みに対する優先順位の設定と資金配分を担当する委員会を整備し、これには各地域のコミュニティとテーマ別の専門家が中心となります。これらのプロセスはいずれも、ローカルのコミュニティにおける既存の専門知識や新しいアイデア、必要な技能や状況の認識から、大きなメリットを得ています。

Composition
Size: The size of the committees varies in different funding regions with 5-10 members as of 2024.
Stakeholder Representation: Regional stakeholders can also be involved in some committees. For example, the CEECA Regional Fund Committee has a non voting representative from the CEE Hub. The committees with Community Resources can involve other stakeholders to ensure inclusion and representation.
Deliberations and decision-making
- Frequency of deliberations or meetings
Committees communicate through online meetings, mailing lists, and Telegram groups. Some regional committee mailing lists also accept external communication. The work of the committee will vary from month to month. At the beginning, time for training will be required as well as during application review in the two rounds per year. Other moments would require less time focused on communication and mentorship.
- Working language
Working language varies across regions. For example, the working language for the North American Committee is English, the Latin American and Caribbean committee works in Spanish, Portuguese, and French with interpretation and translation services, and the ESEAP Committee works in English, Mandarin, Japanese, and Indonesian. If the submitted application is in another language, committees can receive translation support.
- Format of review and deliberations
For more details about the review process and review framework used, see: ウィキメディア・コミュニティ基金の一般的な支援資金に関する提案はどのように審査されるのですか？
- Quorum and consensus
Committees use the gradients of the agreement scale for consensus building towards making inclusive funding decisions. Some committees use the 1-2-4-All approach for proposals reviews and deliberations. This means that there are 3-4 stages that an application undergoes that includes proposal review and deliberations. During the deliberations, Program Officers act as facilitators and provide Committees with requested additional information.
- Program Officer's role
The Regional Program Officer from the Community Resources team support in administration, documentation, facilitation, coordination, communication, and serves in an advisory role.
方針と透明性
Committee members are committed to the following policies and principles to support constructive dialogue with applicants and grantees:
Committee decisions and recommendations are published on grant talk pages. After every funding round, Committees have a meeting with their Program Officer to evaluate the completed work and identify areas of improvement.
Inactivity in the committee or not following the eligibility criteria and behavioral expectations can result in removal from the committee.
