Wikimedia
chapters are independent organizations founded to support and promote the Wikimedia projects in a specified geographical region (in most cases, a country). Like the
Wikimedia Foundation
, they aim to "empower and engage people around the world to collect and develop educational content under a free license or in the public domain, and to disseminate it effectively and globally". There are currently
40
chapters, with at least one on every inhabited continent.
This page lists current and planned chapters. Please see the
step-by-step chapter creation guide
and the
movement affiliates FAQ
for more information. The
Affiliations Committee
advises on and assists the creation of and to support affiliates.

Mailing lists and wikis
Apart from public
mailing lists
(most notably
Chapters-reports
) and websites listed elsewhere, there are two main private channels for communication and coordination among chapters, which existing chapters must follow and participate in:
Internal wiki
25
and
Internal-l – Local Chapters, board and officers coordination
: each chapter can subscribe an unlimited number of board members (as of 13th August 2010), with an e-mail to the list admin by the president; additional members can be subscribed following the usual procedure (endorsement by a subscribed person + consensus on wiki);
Chapters wiki
26
and chapters mailinglist
27
for discussions and decisions among chapters: each chapter can subscribe unlimited board members (and some staffer) and an email by the president of the chapter to the
list admins
with the list of email addresses to add/remove is the usual process; there are also
other lists for working groups
, generally subsets of the previous one, apart some more open lists (e.g.
GLAM
).

Is the chapter formally recognized as a

A small no profit association doesn't require the formal approval. It's sufficient to follow the law and to have a bylaws compliant with to the law

All associations are non-profit by definition in the Czech republic.
All associations in Spain have Non profit status.
Wikimédia Magyarország is a registered association at the Court and all registered associations are non-profit by definition in Hungary.

Wikimedia Indonesia Board of Executive Meeting
As of 31/12/2026.
Officially approved by Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism of South Korea since 2015.
At the founding team's request, the provisional approval was extended by the WMF executive director until April 2013.
Officialy recognized as Wikimedia México A.C. (civic association) under Mexican laws since February 2013.
There is no separate official non-profit status. However, we have been granted charity status (ANBI) by the tax office since January 2010, which, among other demands, requires that the organization is a non-profit by its bylaws and operates as a non-profit in practice. During 2012 we were busy to prepare the chapter for the CBF certificate for 'small charities'.
All associations are non-profit by definition in Poland
All organizations in Portugal have Non profit status.
