Fundraising
These donations allow the Wikimedia Foundation to:
- Support the technical infrastructure of Wikimedia projects, including providing critical services, designing and launching new products to improve user experience, and innovating in areas like machine learning and internet-based collaboration.
- Strengthen performance and effectiveness of the Foundation across its functions.
- Support the volunteer communities through grants, programs, training, and other activities.
- Protect Wikimedia projects and communities against growing external threats such as disinformation and harmful government regulation, to ensure they can continue to thrive in the future.
