Projects  to promote free knowledge are central to the budget plan. Target  groups  are mainly volunteer communities for Wikimedia projects,  members, and  users. Furthermore we organize projects in schools and  universities. We support international cooperation on Wikimedia  projects, meetings on a multinational level, working together with the  Wikimedia chapters and communities in our neighbouring countries. We  encourage the spreading of  free knowledge and content, particularly in  the German language and its regional dialects. We help writers and  photographers to gain access to  libraries and archives, events and  meetings, and support the development of skills and tools. We attend  meetings with local authorities and  congresses related to Open Source  and Open Content. For 2012, the following project expenditures are  planned:

Aside  from funds used directly for projects, there is a number of indirect  administration  expenditures such as the office facilities, rent,  salaries of non-project employees, or board expenses. Some of these  expenditures are classic administrative costs of membership  associations, such as members administration, general assembly, fees  for changing the bylaws, and legal advice. But this part of the budget  focuses on building and  maintaining communication structures, in  addition and beyond single projects. We need facilities to publish our  reports, provide informations, plan public relations activities, and  store our promotion material. The center of all these activities is our  office in Graz. This part of the budget also comprises the costs for  financial transactions an for all the accountancy.
