This amount increased to EUR 7.8 million (previous year: EUR 7.3 million). The total is shown in full as a tax reserve in accordance with \u00a762 AO of the German Fiscal Code.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Use of Funds<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Wikimedia Deutschland, like many fundraising organizations, strives to ensure that funds are maximized to benefit substantive work and that costs for project-related expenses such as activities in the fields of public relations, advertising and administration are minimized. However, the latter are necessary and meaningful as they help organize the use of funds as well as provide accountability and transparency. The expenses for activities relating to public relations and advertising of Wikimedia Deutschland and Gemeinn\u00fctzige Wikimedia F\u00f6rdergesellschaft amounted to EUR 2.0 million in 2019 (previous year: EUR 1.6 million). The administrative expenses amounted to EUR 1.9 million (previous year: EUR 2.0 million after deducing the expenses for the aforementioned inheritance which are regarded as an extraordinary item). Taking this into account, the overall share of costs for activities relating to administration, advertising and public relations of both organizations amounted to 21.2% in 2019 (previous year: 20.4%).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
