Volunteers

Engineering

Wikimedia engineering refers to the engineering team employed by the Wikimedia Foundation. Its mission is to build, improve and maintain the technical infrastructure of Wikimedia projects (software and hardware), by supporting and complementing volunteer efforts. You can be involved:

Fundraising

You will be part of a team responsible for supporting and sustaining the global Wikimedia community via the Wikimedia Foundation’s Development Department. Your work will involve assisting the team that processes gifts from foundations and donors, providing support in numerous capacities. You will update and maintain the Foundation’s various donation pages and the benefactor page, our most visible and significant communications tools for donors.

Major Gifts (Volunteer Opportunity)

Communications

The Wikimedia Foundation (WMF), the organization that operates Wikipedia and its sister projects, is currently seeking volunteers to work with the Communications department. Volunteering with the Communications team exposes you to an exceptionally dynamic, mission-oriented community. You will work with international volunteers who are building Wikimedia projects and promoting free knowledge everywhere in the world.
