A personal appeal from Jimmy Wales
Please don't scroll past this 1-minute read. This Tuesday, September 19, I ask you to reflect on the number of times you visited Wikipedia in the past year, the value you got from it, and whether you're able to give $3 to the Wikimedia Foundation. If you can, please join the 2% of readers who give. If everyone reading this right now gave just $3, we'd hit our goal in a couple of hours.
It is hard to know what to trust online these days. I set up the Wikimedia Foundation as a nonprofit to host Wikipedia and its sister sites to preserve our core values: neutral, high-quality information, not disinformation and outrage. Wikipedia isn't perfect, but it is also not here to make a profit or to push a particular perspective – something that is becoming harder and harder to find online.
If Wikipedia has given you $3 worth of knowledge this year, please give back. There are no small contributions: every edit counts, every donation counts. Thank you.
