    According to the wikimedia foundation the costs for hosting the service are covered for the next decades. Most of their money goes to lobbying and other political efforts.

    So no. I like their website and am happy to help keep that funded but for now they don’t need help doing that

      Not just political efforts - for example they fund their outreach programs and workshops for disadvantaged people to get their specialized knowledge onto Wikipedia.

      But yeah, hosting is already funded therefore I dont currently feel the need to donate to Wikimedia.
