Wikipedia is in need of money and it urges readers to donate a small sum to keep the site going for another year. This is because wikipedia has no source of income while it provides useful content to users for free. Every year the website asks for donation from readers. There are many big companies which help wikipedia every year by donating fund. yesterday, wikipedia has recieved a good amount as a donation form Sergey Brin
Google’s co-founder Sergey Brin has donated $500,000 from Brin Wojcicki Foundation.
“This grant is an important endorsement of the Wikimedia Foundation and its work, and I hope it will send a signal as we kick off our annual fundraising campaign this week,” Sue Gardner, executive director of the Wikimedia Foundation, said.
“This is how Wikipedia works: people use it, they like it, and so they help pay for it, to keep it freely available for themselves and for everyone around the world. I am very grateful to Sergey Brin and Anne Wojcicki for supporting what we do,” she added.
Although this amount is not enough for the wikipedia, but this can be seen as a good start. Wikipedia gets daily some small amount of donations from the readers. And Wikipedia really depends on small donations from every day users.
