Once a year at this time I donate to Wikipedia.

A couple of my friends think I’m daft/soft. “They’ve got tons of money, you haven’t”. Fair comment.

It’s just that I use their site (a lot). And trust their impartiality.

Do YOU donate?
What are your thoughts on this?

Yes I know we can all choose whether/where to donate but my question is only concerning Wikipedia.

I donate £2.00 a month too and have done so for years. Tiny amount, I know, but many people donate small amounts and it all helps!

I'm ashamed to say that I have never donated but I certainly will do so now. I use it a lot and nearly always find it very reliable. Thank you for bringing this to our attention.

Yes I do. It seems small price to pay really.
