'''Donations are tax-deductible in the U.S.'''

The Wikimedia Foundation Inc., a Florida not-for-profit corporation, is registered as a charitable organization with the State of Florida's ''Division of Consumer Services'', a division of the State of Florida's ''Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services'', and may lawfully solicit donations under Florida law. The Foundation has been granted official tax exempt status (section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code) from the United States ''Internal Revenue Service''. Tax-exempt status was granted in April 2005 and is retroactive back to the date of creation of the Foundation: June 20, 2003. '''You may deduct donations from your federally-taxable income.''' Please contact a tax professional for the details of deducting such a donation.

Because of the Wikimedia Foundation's 501(c)3 status in the United States, Canada's tax code will generally permit deductibility of donations to the WMF ''from the donor's US taxable income only''. A useful reference may be Article XXI, Paragraph 6 of the [http://www.fin.gc.ca/treaties-conventions/USA_-eng.asp US-Canada tax treaty]. Please contact a tax professional for the details of deducting such a donation.

== Other countries ==

Donations made to some of the [[Local chapters|local Wikimedia chapters]] are tax-deductible in those countries (please see their websites for more information).

Local chapters are self-dependent organizations that share the goals of the Wikimedia Foundation and support them within a specified geographical region. They support the Wikimedia Foundation, the Wikimedia community and the Wikimedia projects in different ways - by collecting donations, organizing local events and projects and spreading the word of Wikimedia, Free Content and Wiki culture. They also provide the community and potential partners with a point of contact capable of fulfilling specific local needs.
