About

The Wikimedia Foundation is the nonprofit organization that hosts and protects Wikipedia and other Wikimedia projects. The foundation operates the technology infrastructure supporting billions of monthly Wikipedia visits, equips volunteer editors with tools and resources, provides grants to expand knowledge, and conducts legal efforts to protect access to free information.

Founded in 2003. Wikipedia operates in 300+ languages and is one of the only places online where people can access and contribute reliable information without advertising or paywalls. The foundation is funded primarily by reader donations and has earned Charity Navigator's four-star rating and Candid's Platinum Seal of Transparency.
