Make your donation now
The internet we were promised.
[edit]Thank you for considering a donation to the Wikimedia Foundation.
We invite you to reflect on the number of times you visited Wikipedia in the last year. If the knowledge you gained here was valuable, please join the 2% of readers who donate. Any amount helps: €5, €20, €50, or whatever feels right to you today.
The internet we were promised—a place of free, collaborative, and accessible knowledge—is under constant threat. On Wikipedia, volunteers work together to create and verify the pages you rely on, supported by tools that undo vandalism within minutes, ensuring the information you seek is trustworthy.
If Wikipedia has given you useful knowledge this year, please give back. There are no small contributions: every edit counts, every donation counts.
Thank you.
Where your donation goes
[edit]Technology: Servers, bandwidth, maintenance, development. Wikipedia is one of the top 10 websites in the world, and it runs on a fraction of what other top websites spend.
People and Projects: The other top websites have thousands of employees. Wikimedia Foundation has about 700 staff and contractors to support a wide variety of projects, making your donation a great investment in a highly-efficient not-for-profit organization.
Almost done: Please, make it $Y monthly.
