I deleted my post about Wikipedia and the state of their finances, because I couldn’t quite untangle how much money was coming in from institutional/grant donors, versus individual contributions, plus how money flows to and from Wikimedia Endowment, which is separate from the Foundation, but exists to support it. The Endowment is worth $140M *in addition* to Wikimedia Foundation’s $240M.
In short, my statement that Wikipedia would continue running for two decades if people stopped contributing is…not clear. But I think Wikipedia would survive *far* longer than other organizations without your support.
tl;dr: Wikipedia is not in any danger of running out of money any time soon.
