We help everyone share in the sum of all knowledge.

We are the people who keep knowledge free.

There is an amazing community of people around the world that makes great projects like Wikipedia.
We help them do that work. We take care of the technical infrastructure, the legal challenges, and the growing pains.
Our goal is to make Wikimedia sites more useful for people seeking knowledge across the globe. Research helps us live up to our mission. We turn research questions into opportunities to empower new readers and contributors. We use research-backed insights to inform new technologies, products, and programs. We partner with researchers around the world to better understand knowledge making and sharing.
