"Wikipedia works because there's this unspoken light inside all of us that comes from the desire to help educate, to help share knowledge." —Susan Hewitt, Wikipedia Editor

Who we are.

"We make information free, in every sense of the word. Every article, every picture, every piece of code -- everything that we produce -- is free."

"There’s something enticing about being able to work at a small organization that is working on a gigantic website."

Wikipedia is a community built on respect for the power of knowledge to improve all of our lives. As a community of authors, editors, photographers, programmers, and curators, we value open collaboration and we invite everyone to share and build upon our work.

Much of the staff of the Foundation is from the Wikipedia community. We consider experience with the Wikimedia projects and with volunteer communities extremely valuable.
