Ok, Casey, sorry missed that one, I am a bit rushed. However please
note that the question is not actually answered. It gives a third
party fact bite with a tag on "about you":
The job of the Wikimedia Foundation is to provide easy access to
information, for people all over the world - free of charge, and free
of advertising. As a non-profit, it is dependent on your help to do
that. Your donations directly support some of the most popular
collaboratively-edited reference projects in the world, including
Wikipedia, one of the world's top ten most popular websites and the
largest encyclopedia ever compiled in human history.
It should say:
You should support the WMF to help give better access to free
reference to people all over the world. The Wikimedia projects, such
as Wikipedia have been hugely successful in realising an amazing
vision of people sharing knowledge. However there is still a long way
to go until everyone can have free access to pooled human knowledge,
and maintaining what we have already done also costs money. You can be
part of our achievements and our vision by donating.
When we reworded our charity website in less formal language in 2004
online donations went up by a factor of twenty overnight from the same
traffic. It is very important

FAQs like "why should I support WMF"
and "what difference will my
donation make" for example are rather sadly absent and the "what does
this pay for" reads like "go and read the F***ing accounts stupid".
Oh, really?
