Line 42: The Wikimedia Foundation is funded primarily through [https://donate.wikimedia.org/?uselang=en&utm_medium=donatewiki_page&utm_campaign=donate_link&utm_source=FAQ donations] from millions of individuals around the world. The average donation is about US$15, and we are grateful that so many people find value in Wikipedia and want to sustain its future. We also receive donations through institutional grants and gifts (please see our [https://wikimediafoundation.org/support/benefactors/ benefactors page] for more information). The Wikimedia Foundation has 501(c)(3) tax exempt status in the United States. Donations made from other nations may also be tax deductible (see [[tax deductibility]] for more details). See [[Ways to Give]] for details on how to make a donation via credit or debit card, PayPal, Amazon and several other methods. If you have any questions, please contact us at [mailto:donate{{@}}wikimedia.org donate@wikimedia.org].<ref name="zd">Due to the volume of inquiries we receive, we use [[w:Zendesk\|Zendesk]] as a donor response platform.
