Dear <name>,
We need your help this week. Will you donate to keep Wikipedia a home for free and independent knowledge?
Our small team doesn’t have the capacity to chase your renewal for months — and frankly, that isn’t our style. But I hope you know, sincerely, how important donors like you are to keeping Wikipedia healthy.
You probably enjoy other free online services. So what’s so special about Wikipedia being free? Well, to those other services, you are the product. Your attention and profile are being sold to advertisers. Wikipedia is different. To us, you are never the product. We’re a non-profit, we’ll never run ads, and we’ll never sell your data to third parties.
Every year, I’m stunned by the response from our donors. But we haven’t reached our fundraising goal, and we don’t have a lot of time left. We’re not salespeople. We’re librarians, archivists, and information junkies. We rely on our readers to become our donors, and it’s worked for fifteen years.
This year, please consider making another donation to protect and sustain Wikipedia.

Thank you,
Jimmy Wales
Wikipedia Founder
