There are too many comparison cases to read them all, but let's pick a few and just consider. We want our report to serve well as a report to the public and our members and also as an official report to WMF to sustain our status as an affiliate.'' |

||
| − | Wikimedia DC continues to hold collaborative editing events, which is our main institutional partnership program activity. Most of these are public events organized by our own staff, and they usually offer our Wikipedia training. Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, most of these events were held online, not in person. |
||
| − | |||
| − | During the 2021–22 fiscal year, Wikimedia DC run or supported 22 events in partnership with 18 institutional partners, which included a broad spectrum of cultural, academic, and government institutions, and non-governmental organizations: |

||
| − | We had a big change of officers in January. Longtime president Kirill Lokshin, who understood all our systems, has moved on. Peter Meyer is now the president, John Sadowski vice president, Diane Shaw secretary, and Sara Snyder treasurer. The new officers have been learning their roles and systems. Our Institutional Partnership Manger, Ariel Cetrone, continues in her position. |
||
| − | |||
| − | The chapter had fallen behind on tax filings, and has now caught back up, with annual tax forms on its web site. The chapter re-filed for tax-deductible status, which it had lost in May, 2021. The expected outcome is that memberships and donations in the intermediate period are U.S. federal tax-deductible. If the chapter is denied this outcome, we have the obligation to alert our members and donors. <!-- let's see how the NY chapter addressed this in their reports. --> |
