If all our past donors gave today, our May 2024 fundraiser would be over. Time will soon run out on this fundraiser, so we turn to you with great hope: please renew your gift to ensure that Wikipedia forever remains the reliable source of knowledge everyone loves and counts on, whether it’s for work, research, or personal growth.
Wikipedia is not perfect, but also not here to make a profit or influence you. It is written by everyone, for everyone. We want to make sure we all have equal access to high-quality information – something that is really hard to find online these days.
Our pledge to you is that Wikipedia will never belong to the highest bidder, the advertisers, or corporations. It will always belong to you, the readers, editors, and donors. You’re our community, our family. You’re the reason we exist, and we wouldn’t have it any other way.
We wouldn’t be able to achieve any of this without you. Thank you for being there for us. Together, let’s continue to preserve this special place on the internet.
With gratitude,
Lisa Seitz Gruwell
President of the Wikimedia Endowment
P.S. If you are age 70 1/2 or older, consider making a gift from your individual retirement account in support of the Wikimedia Endowment. This tax-free gift opportunity supports Wikipedia's future, while also reducing your taxable income. An IRA Charitable Rollover is a smart way to plan for your future, and ours.
