Wikipedia is non-profit, but it's the #5 website in the world – serving 470 million people every month with billions of page views.
We work hard to keep our operation lean. Google might have close to a million servers. Yahoo has something like 13,000 staff. We have 679 servers and 95 staff.
We will never run ads. Commerce is fine. Advertising is not evil. But it doesn't belong in Wikipedia.
If everyone reading this made a small donation, we would only have to fundraise for a few hours. Not everyone can or will donate, but each year just enough people decide to give.
We only raise what we need. When we've raised our budget, we stop fundraising for the year.
This year, please consider making a donation of $5, $20, $50 or whatever you can to protect and sustain Wikipedia.
