Well, Wikimedia does have an Endowment, currently valued at $169 million. See Form 990: https://wikimediaendowment.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/20... This is in addition to assets of around $300 million held by the Wikimedia Foundation. Form 990: https://foundation.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Wikimedia_Foundat...

$169 million is not too big for an endowment, especially considering how much they had been raising AND spending in the years prior. Long-term it'd be best for Wikipedia if it was self-funded through this, like Harvard, for instance. | ||
