Aan die doelstelling werken wij.
En Uw hulp hebben we hierbij nodig.
De Wikimedia Foundation is een vereniging zonder winstoogmerk met als doelstelling iedereen vrije informatie ter beschikking te stellen. Wij werken aan dit doel door het onderhouden, ontwikkelen en verdelen van vrije informatie. Wikimedia is afhankelijk van giften om de projecten te bekostigen.
Dankzij de servers en het netwerk van van de Wikimedia Foundationedia provides computing and network resources to create and distribute many reference works including Wikipedia, Wiktionary, Wikiquote, Wikibooks, Wikisource and the Wikimedia Commons. The content of these projects is provided to the public free of charge.
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 unprecedented growth in traffic and content requires regular hardware updates to prevent outages without sacrificing functionality. Other outgoings include bandwidth costs, rackspace within a colocation center, purchase of Wikimedia's domain names, sponsorship of specific software development tasks, and, occasionally, travel expenses. See hardware capacity growth planning for details of what we plan to buy next.
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.
Make a donation
Donate online
Donate online with PayPal or MoneyBookers using the easy to use forms linked below. Our account name for these is donation@wikipedia.org. PayPal allows for onetime, monthly and yearly payment options (cancel a subscription).
In most cases, MoneyBookers' fees are lower than PayPal's.
Donate via postal mail
You can send donations via snail-mail to Wikimedia's head office at the following address.
- Wikimedia Foundation Inc.
- 204 37th Ave N, #330
- St. Petersburg, FL 33704
If sending donations from outside the United States, please note again that an international money order or a check payable on a United States bank would be appreciated, to avoid collection costs. Sending a foreign check (or any other kind of draft drawn on a bank outside the United States) may involve processing fees in excess of $50. International postal money orders payable in the United States are available in post offices in many countries and will ensure your complete donation goes to Wikimedia. Please do not send currency through the mail.
Disclaimer: Please note that neither this page nor any link on any Wikimedia site pointing to this page should be considered a solicitation to make a donation. Our license guarantees that you are, and will continue to be, free to use our content regardless of whether you can afford to donate.
Buy merchandise
