The Mission Statement of the Wikimedia Foundation describes our current activities and purpose, the scope of our projects, and our core values. It stands in contrast to the Vision Statement. Our current mission statement is:

The mission of the Wikimedia Foundation is to empower and engage people around the world to collect and develop neutral educational content under a free content license or in the public domain, and to disseminate it effectively and globally.

The Foundation will make and keep the educational content from its projects available on the Internet free of charge, in perpetuity.
