Ways to give

Legacy gift

You can support the future of free knowledge for generations to come by making a gift in your will or other estate plans.

  • A legacy gift costs you nothing now and can be changed at any time, for any reason.
  • Once realized, your gift will be added to the Wikimedia Endowment, where your legacy will live on by providing support to Wikimedia projects in perpetuity.
  • Legacy gifts are exempt from US federal estate taxes.

Make a legacy gift online at no cost using FreeWill (in the US) or by including the following sample language in your will:

I give, devise, and bequeath [the sum of _____ USD (or other currency) OR _____ percent of the rest and residue of my estate] to the Wikimedia Endowment (tax identification number 87-3024488), a charitable corporation currently located at One Sansome Street, Suite 1895, San Francisco, California 94104, United States, to be used for its general charitable purposes at its discretion.
