    Here is an article about the issue https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Fundraising/issues

    There was a great graph which I cannot find about how Wikimedia (Wikipedia owners) is hoarding massive amounts of money and doing unnecessary fundraisers. Their capital has bloated to infinity. Wikimedia already is a corporation.

    To top it off their owners are Zionists who tried to use their influence to stop the Wikipedia page calling Gaza a genocide but failed.

      I read through the page and I understand the problem better, but I still don’t know what I could do differently as an occasional donator. I found this for helping with development, but I’d prefer to support with donations since I don’t really have time for more dev work. Is there some way to donate directly for the operating costs, or to volunteers, or something?
