Abstract/description

The Wikimedia Foundation Annual Plan is the plan of record for the Wikimedia Foundation's work each year. These are scheduled for the Wikimedia Foundation's fiscal year, which starts on July 1 and ends on June 30 of the following year.

Each year the Wikimedia Foundation shares and discusses its draft annual plan with Wikimedians around the world (both on and off wiki, in a number of languages) and engages in a two-way dialog with volunteers and affiliates about our joint priorities for the next fiscal year. '
