Wikipedia is currently running a six-week fundraising campaign. The banner ads beg for just a few dollars, which doesn’t sound like much, for all that free information. The truth, however, is that the Wikimedia Foundation (WMF), the non-profit that owns Wikipedia, sits on an ever-growing pile of cash. In 2020-2021 fiscal year it reached its 10-year goal of creating a $100 million endowment. Five years earlier than planned. The NGO raised $154 million from over 7.7 million donors last year.
