Your gift = free knowledge for billions
Hi Robert!
I love that it’s my job to thank you for your $ 10.00 contribution
to Wikipedia and the Wikimedia Foundation.
The essential story of Wikipedia is the story of an individual, like
you, giving a little bit of themselves to keep the doors of discovery
open. Your contribution shows me that the spirit of our vision is
alive and well.
You probably donated because Wikipedia is useful to you. That’s one
of the main reasons people tell me when I ask them why they support
Wikipedia. But what may surprise you is that one of the top reasons
people don’t give is because they can’t afford to.
At the Wikimedia Foundation, we believe that no one should have to pay
to learn. We believe knowledge should always be free. We will never
charge anyone to use Wikipedia. So how do we afford the infrastructure
of one of the world’s most popular websites?
Because of the generosity of people like you.
Wikipedia is yours: yours to read, yours to edit, yours in which to
get lost. We’re not the destination, we’re the beginning.
Robert, thank you for helping free knowledge thrive.
Katherine
