| This resolution was approved on June 23, 2022. |
Whereas, the Wikimedia Foundation maintains reserve funds that it can draw upon if needed in the event of sudden or unexpected cost increases or loss of revenue; and
Whereas, the Audit Committee has reviewed the approaches other non-profit organizations take to setting a target working capital ratio;
Now, therefore, it is:
RESOLVED, that the Foundation shall target an amount of up to 18 months of expenses for its working capital reserve;
RESOLVED, that the working capital reserve ratio should not fall below a 12-month baseline;
RESOLVED, that the Audit Committee shall review the Foundation's working capital reserve ratio at least once per year; and
RESOLVED, that the Board shall review the reserve ratio and target at least once every three years.
