Hi all,

I’m happy to announce the publishing of our annual fundraising report that summarises fundraising activities for the financial year covering July 1, 2020 - June 30, 2021.

Fiscal year 2021 was an extremely pivotal time for the Wikimedia Foundation’s commitment to providing reliable and neutral information to the world. The COVID-19 pandemic shaped many of our experiences during this time, and as the world moved online, we experienced a significant increase in Wikipedia’s traffic as well as donor support. The 2020-2021 Fundraising Report provides insight into our revenue model and the strategy that goes into creating an impactful fundraising campaign to ensure the Wikimedia movement has the resources it needs to thrive.

We would like to send an immense amount of gratitude to everyone who supports our mission. We wouldn't be able to deliver a successful fundraiser without the support from our volunteer community, affiliates, and generous donors and readers around the world. Special thank you to everyone who contributed and collaborated on this report: the fundraising teams, Legal, Communications, Finance, Product Analytics and more!

We welcome your feedback and questions on the talk page. [1]
Thank you,
Pats
