Thank you for donating to the Wikimedia Foundation. You are wonderful!

It's easy to ignore our fundraising banners, and I'm really glad you didn't. This is how Wikipedia pays its bills --- people like you giving us money, so we can keep the site freely available for everyone around the world.

People tell me they donate to Wikipedia because they find it useful, and they trust it because even though it's not perfect, they know it's written for them. Wikipedia isn't meant to advance somebody's PR agenda or push a particular ideology, or to persuade you to believe something that's not true. We aim to tell the truth, and we can do that because of you. The fact that you fund the site keeps us independent and able to deliver what you need and want from Wikipedia. Exactly as it should be.

You should know: your donation isn't just covering your own costs. The average donor is paying for his or her own use of Wikipedia, plus the costs of hundreds of other people. Your donation keeps Wikipedia available for an ambitious kid in Bangalore who's teaching herself computer programming. A middle-aged homemaker in Vienna who's just been diagnosed with Parkinson's disease. A novelist researching 1850s Britain. A 10-year-old in San Salvador who's just discovered Carl Sagan.

On behalf of those people, and the half-billion other readers of Wikipedia and its sister sites and projects, I thank you for joining us in our effort to make the sum of all human knowledge available for everyone. Your donation makes the world a better place. Thank you.

Most people don't know Wikipedia's run by a non-profit. Please consider sharing this e-mail with a few of your friends to encourage them to donate too. And if you're interested, you should try adding some new information to Wikipedia. If you see a typo or other small mistake, please fix it, and if you find something missing, please add it. There are resources that can help you get started. Don't worry about making a mistake: that's normal when people first start editing and if it happens, other Wikipedians will be happy to fix it for you.

I appreciate your trust in us, and I promise you we'll use your money well.

Thanks,

Sue

Beste -----,

Hartelijk dank voor uw donatie aan de Wikimedia Foundation!

Op deze manier betalen we onze rekeningen: door mensen als u, die vijf, twintig of honderd euro geven. Mijn favoriete donatie van het afgelopen jaar was vijf pond van een klein Engels meisje. Ze had haar ouders overtuigd, zodat ze haar zakgeld mocht doneren.

Mensen zoals u en haar maken het voor Wikipedia mogelijk om door te gaan met het beschikbaar stellen van gratis, eenvoudig te vinden en onbevooroordeelde informatie, voor iedereen ter wereld. Voor iedereen die helpt meebetalen en ook voor iedereen die zich dit niet kan veroorloven. Hartelijk bedankt.

Ik weet dat het gemakkelijk is om ons verzoek om donaties te negeren, maar ik ben blij dat u dat niet heeft gedaan. Ik zeg dit niet alleen namens mijzelf, maar ook namens de tienduizenden vrijwilligers die Wikipedia helpen schrijven: dank u dat u ons wilt helpen de wereld een beetje beter te maken. We zullen uw geld zorgvuldig gebruiken.

Dank u voor uw vertrouwen in ons.

Bedankt,
Sue Gardner
Directeur van de Wikimedia Foundation
