Wikimedia chapters are national or sub-national not-for-profit organisations created to promote the interests of Wikmedia projects locally. Chapters are legally independent of the Wikimedia Foundation, entering into a "Chapters Agreement" with the Foundation following acceptance by the Chapters Committee, and have no control over Foundation websites. The organisations organise regional conferences, outreach and global events such as Wikimania.[1][2] As of April 2013 there were 39 recognised Wikimedia chapters.[3][4]
