ALT The Wikimedia Foundation is the nonprofit organization that hosts Wikipedia and 13 other free knowledge projects. We want to make it easier for everyone to share what they know. To do this, we keep our sites fast, reliable, and available to all. We protect the values and policies that allow free knowledge to thrive. We build new features and tools to make it easy to read, edit, and share from our sites. Above all, we support the communities of volunteers around the world who edit, improve, and add knowledge across Wikimedia projects.
