Thank you for helping keep Wikipedia online and ad-free. I’m sure you’re busy, so I’ll get right to it. We need your help again this year. |
|||
Wikipedia is one of the top sites on the web and serves 450 million different people every month – with billions of page views. |
|||
Please help us forget about fundraising and get back to improving Wikipedia. |
|||
We are the small non-profit that runs one of the top websites in the world. We only have about 200 staff but serve 450 million users, and have costs like any other top site: servers, power, programs, and people. |

When I founded Wikipedia, I could have made it into a for-profit company with advertising banners, but I decided to do something different. We’ve worked hard over the years to keep it lean and tight. We fulfill our mission efficiently. |
|||
To protect our independence, we'll never run ads. We are sustained by donations from our readers. Now is the time we ask. |
|||
If everyone reading this donated, our fundraiser would be done within an hour. But not everyone can or will donate. And that's fine. Each year just enough people decide to give. |
|||
If Wikipedia is useful to you, please take one minute to keep it online and ad-free another year. |
|||
This year, please consider making a donation of {{AppealAmountSwitch|language=en|country={{{country}}}|amount=all|$5, €10, ¥1000}} or whatever you can to protect and sustain Wikipedia. |
|||
Thank you, |
|||
Thanks,<br /> |
