Local chapters

The local chapters listed below are independent associations with no legal control of or responsibility for the websites of the Wikimedia Foundation and vice versa. Local chapters and their representatives do not speak in an official capacity on behalf of the Wikimedia Foundation. These contacts are provided for convenience.

Local chapters are self-dependent organizations that share the goals of the Wikimedia Foundation and support them within a specified geographical region. They support the Wikimedia Foundation, the Wikimedia community and the Wikimedia projects in different ways - by collecting donations, organizing events and projects, and spreading the word of Wikimedia and Free Culture. They provide the volunteer community and potential partners and supporters with a point of contact capable of fulfilling specific local needs.

If you have questions about local chapters or want to start one in your country, please contact the Affiliations Committee. For more information, see the Wikimedia chapters page on Meta.
