Wikimania, Wikimedia's first international conference in August 2005 was a milestone in the history of Wikimedia. Organized entirely by volunteers from within the community, the event was greeted enthusiastically by the media and the 400 participants from 50 countries around the world. Such a conference was only possible thanks to the help of corporate sponsors: [http://www.answers.com Answers.com], [http://www.socialtext.com Socialtext], [http://www.sun.com/ Sun Microsystems], [http://www.doccheck.de/ DocCheck], [http://www.logos.it Logos] and others.

and Ross Mayfield, CEO of Socialtext comments on Wikimania: |

:''When good people come together great things happen. Behind all the content there is a vibrant community.

Wikimania was the best investment our company has made, bar none, for a greater common future.'' |

The Wikimedia Foundation is grateful for every donation made to the project, be it time, money or hardware. This page is dedicated to some of the larger donations made by companies and individuals which help to sustain the projects of Wikimedia. The Wikimedia Foundation does not necessarily endorse the activities of its Benefactors.
While only a select number of donors are listed on this page, every donation to the Wikimedia Foundation helps enrich the quality of our projects.
Note: All figures are in $US
