Notification of upcoming reporting due date

Greetings Owula kpakpo, Sandiooses,

This is a notification to bring to your attention that your organization reporting date is coming up in 30 day(s). Wikimedia Affiliates are required to submit an annual activity report covering the entirety of the 12-month agreement period in order to prompt review for a renewal. Reports must be written in English, posted to meta via the Wikimedia Affiliates Data Portal.

This page is used to track how organizations and groups are meeting reporting requirements described in their agreements with the Wikimedia Foundation (e.g. chapter agreements, thematic organization agreements, user group agreements). It is the central place where affiliates can add reports about their activities, share their plans, and even news or social media channels with the wider movement. When new reports are available, organizations and groups should add them to this page to keep their columns up to date.

As noted on the meta Reports page, your organization’s 2025 annual reporting will be due in 2025-01-31. Please be sure to:

• Post your 2025 annual reporting to the meta via the Wikimedia Affiliates Data Portal as soon as possible to return to compliance with your user group agreement.

• Check that your group’s page is also up to date with past report links for historical record-keeping, and

• Please send an email to Wikimedia-l in order to share with a movement-wide audience.

If you have any questions or need any further guidance, please don’t hesitate to reach out to wadportalwikimedia.org.

Best regards,

Wikimedia Affiliates Data Portal

Hi User:RamzyM (WMF),

Thank you for your reminder but I want to draw your attention to an email we received from the Grants Team and a subsequent call we had with them which stated the following:

"As an affiliate who is also the recipient of a General Support Fund (GSF) grant, here is how your reporting is affected:

• You are no longer required to submit any affiliate reporting information to the Wikimedia Affiliate Data portal or to Meta. All affiliate reporting requirements will be met by your final GSF report in Fluxx.
• You will see some small changes to your existing GSF final report questions, with explicit instructions on how to meet affiliate reporting requirements within that report. For grantees with an old reporting form used before Fiscal Year 2023-24, please note that you will now be using this updated form. It is shorter and aligns with this streamlined process. Your program officer at the Wikimedia Foundation will also be available to support you in understanding these changes."

In our call with them I mentioned that our Grants year doesn't coincide with our Affiliate reporting and it was stated in that meeting that we should only focus on the Grant Reporting when the time comes and that will take over from this process you want us to do.

Kindly speak to Grants so we can rectify all this misunderstandings.

Best Regards,
