About the Wikimedia Foundation

The Wikimedia Foundation is the nonprofit organization that operates Wikipedia and the other Wikimedia free knowledge projects. Our vision is a world in which every single human can freely share in the sum of all knowledge. We believe that everyone has the potential to contribute something to our shared knowledge, and that everyone should be able to access that knowledge freely. We host Wikipedia and the Wikimedia projects, build software experiences for reading, contributing, and sharing Wikimedia content, support the volunteer communities and partners who make Wikimedia possible, and advocate for policies that enable Wikimedia and free knowledge to thrive. 

The Wikimedia Foundation is a charitable, not-for-profit organization that relies on donations. We receive donations from millions of individuals around the world, with an average donation of about $15. We also receive donations through institutional grants and gifts. The Wikimedia Foundation is a United States 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organization with offices in San Francisco, California, USA.

The people that make the magic happen.

The Wikimedia movement exists because of humans who believe in a world where everyone can freely share in the sum of all knowledge. We are honored to recognize them at #Wikimania2024, the annual global conference that celebrates all the Wikimedia projects.

Since 2005, Wikimania has been bringing together the thousands of volunteers who make Wikipedia and other Wikimedia projects possible.

The annual global conference is an opportunity for free knowledge enthusiasts from all over the world to connect, learn, exchange ideas, and build new networks.

#Wikimania2024 is currently taking place online and in Katowice, Poland. This year’s event puts the spotlight on multilingualism, with sessions available in six languages. Attendees represent over 140 countries and come from a variety of language backgrounds: no more than 36% of the attendees have the same native language.

This Wikimania is also a unique celebration of young Wikimedians, with more than half of registrants under the age of 35. Young people are heavily represented amongst the Core Organizing Team, within the Wikimedian of the Year winners, and throughout the event's program. 

Swipe to see some of the memories we are building together.

The question about introducing dark mode to Wikimedia projects has never been “why”. It has always been “how”.

The Web team at the Wikimedia Foundation explains how they made dark mode possible with the help of the Wikimedia community.
