If you look up "Wikimedia" in Amazon Smile, you find "Wikimedia foundation Inc., Washington DC, Incorporation year 2003". Any idea why that is so?
Perhaps because that is where the checks are being collected for the fundraiser? https://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Ways_to_Give

Slight tangent, were figures published on how much money was paid to the WMF using this Amazon scheme? It feels like the sort of information that should be easily available.
Thanks, Fae
