People tend not to fund paper nonprofits. If someone pokes the grant funders hard enough, they will reconsider their grants.

That depends on the chapter - I think different chapters rely on membership fees to different extents. If a chapter gets its funding primarily from donations (and perhaps grants) from non-members it would be theoretically able to function effectively without a large membership (although a lack of manpower may harm the quality of its outreach programs, etc.). _______________________________________________ foundation-l mailing list foundation-l@lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-l _______________________________________________ foundation-l mailing list foundation-l@lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-l
