Wikimedia has one of the most compelling and powerful visions in the world. We believe that it's possible for every single person to participate in knowledge. A knowledge in and of itself is such a high aspiration, this idea that we could ever have all the world's knowledge in one place. The Wikimedia Foundation is the nonprofit organization that supports Wikipedia, as well as a number of other free knowledge projects. Many people don't know that Wikipedia is actually a nonprofit, and they don't know that it's built by the contributions of hundreds of thousands of people around the world. Similarly, in the way that people contribute information to Wikipedia, we receive donations, very generous donations from millions of people from almost every continent on the planet. We ask people to contribute in response to how much they use Wikipedia and how they would like to see us continue to survive and thrive in the future.
