Dear RJ,

First of all, let me say how grateful I am that you chose not to skip this email. Because this 1-minute read is important. In 2022, you decided to be one of the 2% of readers who support Wikipedia and its sister projects with a gift. Thank you for donating $104 to the mission that allows us to make more knowledge available to you every day. Ultimately, we know you can’t put a price on learning but we hope Wikipedia always remains valuable to you, whether you gain $1 or $104 worth of knowledge every time you use it.

We still need you. Please remain an active Wikipedia supporter by making a gift to the Wikimedia Endowment, our long-term security fund.

Renew my $104 donation

Give less this year

If you’re a frequent user of Wikipedia, then you know firsthand how valuable this resource is. And your help is part of what keeps Wikipedia growing and useful to you and millions throughout the world. If all our past donors made a gift today, our fundraiser would be over. Please renew your gift to ensure that Wikipedia remains the reliable source of knowledge everyone loves and counts on each day, whether it’s for work, research, or personal growth.

Wikipedia Beyond the Screen

It’s not always obvious how Wikipedia shares access to knowledge beyond the pages on our website, so we’ll share a story with you. After the COVID-19 pandemic sent students online for remote learning, we worked with teachers in Nigeria to help train their students in digital and media literacy. This training equipped them to identify bias and misinformation, which is vital in an age where so much learning will happen online. It’s initiatives like these that reflect the real world impact Wikipedia can have, and we want to make sure these projects can continue.

If you still see the value of Wikipedia, please take one minute to keep it growing for years to come.
