Wikimedia Belgium NPO has the legal requirement to administer a membership register of all effective members.
It has to be provided to the government upon request.
Associate membership
editYou can become an associate member by requesting a:
- normal membership, open to any natural person (yearly fee of € 20).
- active membership, open to contributors of the Wikimedia projects (like Wikipedia). This membership type is complimentary.
- supporting membership, open to everybody interested in our organisation. We ask you for your a generous yearly donation (minimum € 25).
Once accepted as associate member, there is no difference between these memberships.
The current membership system was approved by the board on 7 December 2014 (minutes).
As per the Statutes (en) we do not accept other organisations to become member.
