Dear all,
I would like to take the opportunity to inform you all about the upcoming annual Wikimedia Foundation banner fundraising campaign in India.
The fundraising campaign will have two components.
1.
We will send emails to people who have previously donated from India. The emails are scheduled to be sent between the 22nd of July to the 15th of August. 2.
We will run banners for non-logged in users in India on English Wikipedia itself. The banners will run from the 13th of August to the 10th of September.
Prior to this, we are planning to run some tests, so you might see banners for 3-5 hours a couple of times before the campaign starts. This activity will ensure that our technical infrastructure works.
I am also sharing with you a community collaboration page https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Fundraising/WMF_India_fundraising_campaign, where we outline more details around the campaign, share some banner examples, and give you space to engage with the fundraising campaign.
Generally, before and during the campaign, you can contact us:

If you need to report a bug or technical issue, please create a phabricator ticket https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/maniphest/task/edit/form/1/?template=118862 -
If you see a donor on a talk page, VRT https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Volunteer_Response_Team or social media having difficulties in donating, please refer them to donate at wikimedia.org
Thanks you and regards,
