My name is Jimmy Wales, and I'm the founder of Wikipedia. In 2018, you donated XX to help us support Wikipedia so it may continue to bring you and millions of people around the world value. Each year, roughly 2% of Wikipedia readers choose to support our work. You have been one of those rare donors, and for this I want to thank you warmly. I'm grateful you agree that we can use the power of the internet for good. We will achieve this not as individuals, but as a collaborative movement of knowledge seekers. Together, we can rebuild trust in the internet, and by extension, in each other.
We need you. Please remain an active Wikipedia supporter.

I have to be honest: roughly 2% of Wikipedia readers give every year. There is no subscription fee to access content on Wikipedia, but that doesn't mean we don't need support from our readers. We don't send a fundraising email every month. If you can comfortably give this year, please donate to help us support the technology behind Wikipedia and expand its reach to new corners of the world.
If all our past donors gave a small amount today, our fundraiser would be over. It's easy to ignore these messages, but we kindly ask our loyal readers to reflect on the value they got from Wikipedia this year and make a gift if they can.
We're a non-profit. That means we aren't selling the articles that millions of people read on Wikipedia and its sister sites each day. We don't profit from the knowledge you seek. In fact, we firmly believe that knowledge should exist outside of the realm of supply and demand. That's hardly a given nowadays; so much of the world's digital knowledge is driven by profit.
Wikipedia is different in that it doesn't belong to the highest bidder, the advertisers, or corporations. It belongs to you, the readers, editors, and donors. You're our community, our family. You're the reason we exist and we wouldn't have it any other way.It's readers like you who safeguard our non-profit mission. You help us maintain our integrity, quality, and accessibility. Today, please consider giving again, or even increasing your gift, to show the world that access to independent information matters to you.
Now is the time we ask: can we count on you to renew your solidarity with a small donation? It will help us expand the reach of Wikipedia and meet new readers thirsty for a world of knowledge.
