It’s not the β€˜20s without anarchist Italians.

Wikipedia does not need your money. They were 11 million in the plus last year and sitting on a 250 million usd reserve.

give your money to archive.org instead.

I'll start donating again when they start using the money to run the site.

This year they spent $4M on infrastructure, but took in $185M.

Wikipedia makes hundreds of millions of dollars a year to run a site that is mostly text. Text put there by unpaid volunteers. Unpaid volunteers that repeatedly request the site stop asking for donations like they're broke. The executive salaries of the Wikimedia Foundation total $88 million a year.

However, there has been some controversy over the administration of the funds. While the Tides Foundation has promised to become a more transparent 501(c)(3) organization to reveal how it manages funds, details on expenses and salaries are still lacking seven years later. Additionally, the WMF's salary costs have risen from $7 million in 2010/11 to $88 million in 2021/22.
