==More information==
===How your donation will help===
All of our sites are free from advertisements. Visitors are not charged to edit, read or use our content. We rely entirely on donations to fund [[our projects]]. Our [[Wikimedia statistics|unprecedented growth]] in traffic and content requires regular [[m:Wikimedia servers|hardware]] updates to prevent outages without sacrificing functionality. Other outgoings include bandwidth costs, rack space within a collocation center, purchase of Wikimedia's domain names, sponsorship of specific software development tasks, and occasional travel expenses.

See [[Budget/2005|our latest budget report]] for details on where the money will go, and [[m:Wikimedia servers/hardware orders|details on the hardware we ordered]] after our last fundraising drive.

The Wikimedia Foundation also requires funding to continue its pioneering role in exploring the field of collaborative content creation. In addition, we are pursuing grants to fund the packaging and distribution of Wikimedia content to places that do not have access to the Internet. Every donation can make a big difference. If you have any questions regarding donations or the Wikimedia Foundation, please [[contact us]].
