Wikimedia Foundation/Communications/Annual Report/2017
Since 2007, the Wikimedia Foundation has published an Annual Report to summarize the work and finances of the organization. This document is meant for donors, volunteers, Wikipedia readers, internet users, and press audiences. It is released as both a "micro" web site and a print edition. The 2017 report marks our 10th edition.
