With the enshittification of the entire internet in full effect, we really gotta make sure that this foundational corner of the internet doesn't get lost. Donate to Wikipedia if you got some spare cash, please.

TL:DR last year they took in $154 MM in donations and spent $2.5 MM on web hosting. The rest mainly goes to ever increasing salaries.

If you want to donate, give it to their externally managed endowment. So they don’t go bankrupt.
