Ways to give

Legacy gift

You can support the future of free knowledge for generations to come by making a gift in your will or other estate plans.

  • A legacy gift costs you nothing now and can be changed at any time, for any reason.
  • Once realized, your gift will be added to the Wikimedia Endowment, where your legacy will live on by providing support to Wikimedia projects in perpetuity.
  • Legacy gifts are exempt from US federal estate taxes.

Make a legacy gift online at no cost using FreeWill (in the US) or by including the following sample language in your will:

I give, devise, and bequeath [the sum of _____ USD (or other currency) OR _____ percent of the rest and residue of my estate] to the Wikimedia Endowment (tax identification number 87-3024488), a charitable corporation currently located at 1 Montgomery Street, Suite 1600, San Francisco, California, United States, to be used for its general charitable purposes at its discretion.

For more information about legacy giving, visit wikimediaendowment.org or contact legacy@wikimedia.org.

If you are an executor or other representative of an individual who has left Wikimedia a donation in their will or other estate plans, please contact:
