About the Wikimedia Foundation:
The Wikimedia Foundation is the non-profit organization that supports and
hosts Wikipedia and several other Wikimedia free knowledge sites. Every
month, the Wikimedia sites are accessed by more than a billion unique
devices. Wikipedia consists of more than 40 million articles across
hundreds of languages. Every month, more than 70,000 volunteer editors
contribute to Wikipedia. Based in San Francisco, California, the Wikimedia
Foundation is an audited, 501(c)(3) non-profit that is funded primarily
through donations and grants. It currently employs over 240 staff members.
At the Foundation, we build technology to help people everywhere access
Wikipedia, across devices and in nearly 300 languages. We engineer privacy
for our readers and editors so they can safely and securely explore
Wikipedia. We create programs
<https://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Wikipedia_Zero> and initiatives to
make Wikipedia freely available to more people in more parts of the world.
We build new tools <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Content_translation> for
the community of editors so they can continue to improve and grow
Wikipedia. Roughly a quarter of our budget goes to supporting the community
that make the site possible, including through grantmaking programs
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:Start> that enable volunteers and
enrich the information on the sites.
The Wikimedia Foundation is an equal opportunity employer, and we encourage
people with a diverse range of backgrounds to apply.
