This is curently in development - please help! |
This page describes the plans for the joint winter fundraiser between Wikimedia UK and the Wikimedia Foundation. The Foundation will be putting banners on its projects asking for donations - donors from the UK will be given the choice of donating to us. 50% of the funds raised through those banners will be available for general use by the chapter; the other 50% would be used in joint activities with the Wikimedia Foundation.
- WMUK Lead
- Tom Holden (Treasurer)
- Target amount to raise
- £50,000
Fundraising back-end
To be developed by Tom Dalton, liaising with Tom Holden (ultimately responsible for the donations) and Mike Peel (technical aspects) with creative design by TBD?
- Current system is to have donations via Paypal; the donations page is at Donate.
- Need to have a substantially better donations page (using CiviCRM rather than a wiki page?), and form via PayPal
- Need to have a donors privacy policy
- Need to have sufficient details to follow up later to ask for Gift Aid (currently can't ask for Gift Aid declaration at the same time as the donations are received)
- Need to know where the donation is coming from (is it via the WMF projects, or seperate?)
- Need to write thank you emails
- Need to form a plan for handling repeat donations
- Way of easily subscribing donors to the newsletter if they want
- PayPal, cheques, bank transfers, money orders
- Easy way of becoming a member at the same time as donating? Need to decide how easy we want it to be.

- Blog post

Potential uses of funds
