"By the fans, for the fans"

You’ll hear people connected with AFC Wimbledon say this often – but what does it actually mean?
For those of you who don’t know, AFC Wimbledon's ultimate parent is The Dons Trust. The Trust was set up in February 2002 and is an Industrial and Provident Society – effectively a co-op. This means that no member can hold more than one share and that any surpluses earned can only be used to further the Trust’s objectives and cannot be distributed as profits.

The Board of The Dons Trust sets the long-term strategy of the club and appoints the Board of the club as well. In this way, every member of The Dons Trust has a voice in how the club is run.

So if you want to have your say in your club, make sure you join The Dons Trust.

WISA

The Wimbledon Independent Supporters Association campaigned over many years for the voice of Wimbledon supporters to be heard. WISA were the first organisation to back the setting up of AFC Wimbledon and gave the new club much-needed support in its early days.

WISA remains entirely independent of the club. AFC Wimbledon recognises WISA as an important body representing Wimbledon supporters and is committed to establishing and maintaining dialogue with WISA at all levels.
