You deserve an explanation, so please don't skip this 1-minute read. It's Saturday, December 28. Our fundraiser will soon be over, but we're short of our goal. If you've lost count of how many times you've visited Wikipedia this year, we hope that means it's given you at least $2.75 of knowledge. If just 2% of our most loyal readers gave $2.75 today, we'd hit our goal in a few hours.
After nearly 25 years, Wikipedia is still the internet we were promised—an oasis of free and collaborative knowledge. By visiting Wikipedia today, you're choosing a free and fair internet: a space where you can find facts you need without being distracted by ads or the agendas of wealthy owners.
Most readers don't donate, so your gift matters. If Wikipedia provides you with $2.75 of knowledge, please donate $2.75 right now – or consider a monthly gift to help all year long. Thank you.
