Yes but India has probably 2 times the population of the whole Europe... and cannot be defined like a "poor" country. I Think that the same is valid also for East Asia.
No it's not simple to compare but the amount donated in Asia is really small.
Kind regards

Correction: Our readership in Macao, QATAR and Singapore; is a fraction of that of the United States. (specifically 1.4% of the USA: Percentage remails effectively unchanged).

Hey Illario.
It is not as simple to simply that the contribution from Asia should be
10
times bigger. It is not just about GDP.
Our readership from the three countries in the top 10: Macao, Oman and Singapore; is a fraction of that of the United States. (specifically 1.4% of the USA).
Do not get me wrong. Fundraising sees area for potential long term growth in both Asia and South America but we must be realistic for what that growth is.
That's why I gave a long list of the factors that affect the potential
for
fundraising in Asia, Africa and South America. Its a complex equation

I agree in that point.
Please be back to this millenium.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_GDP_(nominal) (updated to 2017).
Three Asian countries are listed in the top 10.
And the estimation is to have sooner a fourth:

We can say that we have to look at the distribution of GDP, but also in this case three countries of the top 10 are Asian:

Honestly there should be from Asia a contribution 10 times bigger in the fundraising.
I think that it's time to say that Asia is a continent that can give
more.
Kind regards

I suppose Asia can do a lot better than 3 million, but I don't augur
much
success with increasing those campaigns for Africa and South America,
at
least using the current model.
Looking by the sample I know in Brazil (last year fundraising
campaign,
in
August I believe) the Brazilian Portuguese Wikipedia readers often got enraged to the point of vandalizing articles stating their disgust
for a
campaign asking money to an impoverished country (even more saying 10$
was
the cost of a coffee there). Others "donated" money or attempted to
donate
it thinking it was a kind of a fee for being allowed to read Wikipédia (kind of a subscription).

Hi Thea,
Thank you for sharing this report.
I very much like the visual design, which I think is simple, clear,
and
concise. Who did the design?
Regarding the sentences, "We imagine a world in which every single
human
being can freely share in the sum of all knowledge. Each year, with
your
support, we edge closer toward that vision.": I suggest removing the
second
sentence because the horizons of human knowledge continue to expand
at
a
significant rate, and I doubt that we have evidence that we're
keeping
up
in every human language with the pace that human knowledge advances,
let
alone moving fast enough to catch up.
I'm a bit surprised by the relatively low revenue from regions other
than
North America and Europe. Those look like areas where Fundraising
could be
more successful in the future. Does Fundraising have plans to work on improving revenue from those regions?
Congratulations on the success with asking donors to cover
transaction
fees.
Thanks again for sharing this report.

Hi everyone,
I am writing to share with you our fundraising report for fiscal
year
2018
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Fundraising/2017-18_Report. This
report
is a collaborative effort on behalf of many teams: fundraising tech,
ops
and donor services, major gifts, online fundraising, legal,
communications,
and more.
The fundraising report offers us an opportunity to pause and reflect
on
learnings from last year and also consider where we're headed,
particularly
as we approach one of our busiest times of the year for fundraising.
It's
also an inspiring reminder of how many people across the world
support
the
work of the community and WMF staff.
We welcome your questions and feedback.
Thank you, Thea
