The Wikimedia Foundation Inc. is a non-profit organization with the goal of providing free knowledge to every person in the world. Meeting this goal through the maintenance, development and distribution of free content, Wikimedia relies on public donations to run its wiki-based projects.

Wikimedia provides computing and network resources to create and distribute many reference projects including Wikipedia, Wiktionary, Wikiquote, Wikibooks, Wikinews, Wikisource and the Wikimedia Commons. The content of these projects is provided to the public free of charge.

Donate now

Donations are tax-deductible in the United States, but may or may not be elsewhere; see deductibility of donations.

How your donation will help

All of our sites are free from advertisements. Visitors are not charged to edit, read or use our content. We rely entirely on donations to fund our projects. Our unprecedented growth in traffic and content requires regular hardware updates to prevent outages without sacrificing functionality. Other outgoings include bandwidth costs, rack space within a collocation center, purchase of Wikimedia's domain names, sponsorship of specific software development tasks, and occasional travel expenses.

See our latest budget report for details on where the money will go, and details on the hardware we ordered after our last fundraising drive.

The Wikimedia Foundation also requires funding to continue its pioneering role in exploring the field of collaborative content creation. In addition, we are pursuing grants to fund the packaging and distribution of Wikimedia content to places that do not have access to the Internet. Every donation can make a big difference. If you have any questions regarding donations or the Wikimedia Foundation, please contact us.
