Wikipedia The Free Encyclopedia

Readers in the United States deserve an explanation.

Please don't skip this 1-minute read. If you're like us, you've used Wikipedia countless times. To settle an argument with a friend. To satisfy a curiosity. Whether it's 3 in the morning or afternoon, Wikipedia is useful in your life. Please give $2.75.

Wikipedia's been around since 2001. Back then, it was just a wildly ambitious, probably impossible dream. But it came together piece by piece—created by people, not machines. Wikipedia's not perfect, but it's always been free thanks to everyday readers.

Only 2% ever donate. But that small group makes a big difference. When you support Wikipedia, you're standing up for something simple but profound: that knowledge should belong to everyone.

If you agree, then this is your moment to give back. Even $2.75 makes a difference. Help keep it going—for you, for the next reader, and for the next generation.
