The Wikimedia Foundation 2020-2021 Annual Report
Having celebrated its 20th birthday in 2021, Wikipedia in many ways has matured. Envisioned as a collaborative encyclopedia for everyone in the world, the site is now accessed 8,000+ times per second, making it one of the planet’s most indispensable information sources. But the work of Wikipedia isn’t done.
By 2030, 1.5 billion new people will come online with a wealth of contributions to the exchange of knowledge. For Wikipedia and free knowledge projects to help fulfill the promise brought by this growth, Wikimedia must continue to adapt to what the world needs from us now and into the future.
Help us unlock the world’s knowledge.
As a nonprofit, Wikipedia and our related free knowledge projects are powered primarily through donations.
