Wikimedia CH - Association for the advancement of free knowledge is a non-profit association aimed to support the free dissemination of knowledge in Switzerland, including projects hosted by the Wikimedia Foundation, of which the free encyclopedia Wikipedia, the multimedia database Wikimedia Commons, the collection of educational texts Wikibooks, the news portal Wikinews, the collection of quotations Wikiquote or the collection of books Wikisource.
Created on May 14th 2006, it brings together participants and users of Wikimedia projects. They speak the four official languages of Switzerland (German, French, Italian and Romansch) and Alemannic dialects.
It is recognized as a local association by the Wikimedia Foundation. However, it is a financially and legally independent entity, obeying different rules and leadership. Wikimedia CH does not host any of the projects of the Wikimedia Foundation and has no publishing right on them.
The association's activities include:
- intervention to Swiss media ;
- contact with public (government, local authorities, libraries, etc.) or private bodies likely to provide free content to the Wikimedia projects ;
- make educational presentations of Wikimedia projects to students, teachers or anyone interested ;
- negotiate partnerships with outside organizations for the publication or distribution of the content of Wikimedia projects.
Wikimedia CH works through the involvement of its members but primarily through donations from users of Wikipedia and other Wikimedia projects. These are assigned to the goals of the association defined in the article 2 of our bylaws. Wikimedia CH being recognized of public interest, donations from taxpayers in Switzerland may be deducted from their taxable income.
From November 2010 to January 2011, Wikimedia CH participates to a fundraising campaign in partnership with the Wikimedia Foundation and other Wikimedia national associations.
