They support the Wikimedia Foundation, the Wikimedia community and the Wikimedia projects in different ways - by collecting donations, organizing local events and projects and spreading the word of Wikimedia and Free Culture. They also provide the volunteer community and potential partners and supporters with a point of contact capable of fulfilling specific local needs.</p> <p>If you have questions about local chapters or want to start one in your country, please don't hesitate to contact the <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20090427022007/http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Chapters_committee" class="extiw" title="m:Chapters committee">Chapters committee</a>.
