List of Wikimedia Regional Organizations

Wikimedia regional organizations (sometimes called Wikimedia Chapters ) are independent national or sub-national non-profit organizations created to support and popularize Wikimedia projects such as Wikipedia at the local level.

The branches are legally independent from the Wikimedia Foundation : after approval by the Affiliations Committee, they conclude a special “Agreement” with the Foundation ( Eng. Chapters Agreement ) on the cooperation framework and do not gain any control over the Foundation’s websites. Wikimedia regional organizations hold regional conferences, as well as popularize Wikimedia projects and inform about global events such as Wikimedia. ^{[1] [2]}

As of January 2016, there were 41 recognized regional Wikimedia organizations. ^{[3] [4]}
