per Board meeting today, there is no stated goal in this fundraiser.
Line 37:
: We maintain [http://fundraising.wikimedia.org/ a complete listing] of contributions for both the current and previous fundraisers. You can view breakdowns based on currency and date in addition to viewing donor names and comments.
 
=====What happens if we reach the 1.5 million before the end of the four-week period? What happens if we don't reach it? Would the fundraiser be extended, or end early?=====
 
: We expect that the fund drive will continue long enough to leverage the available opportunities for matching donations. At the conclusion we will evaluate whether this provides the resources needed to support the Wikimedia projects in the immediate future.
 
: If we reach our goals early, what a great problem to have! If this happens, we will change the text of the site notices to be thank-you messages, as has been traditional in fundraisers. Such success would indicate the need to plan for a capital campaign/endowment fund drive later this year, with major corporate and foundation gifts to establish such an endowment. In the long term, an endowment would help provide a stable financial base for the Wikimedia Foundation to carry out its mission.
