Despite being a free and open platform, Wikipedia has made significant contributions to philanthropic initiatives around the world. Wikipedia relies on donations from millions of users to maintain its objective of delivering free, accurate knowledge to everyone through efforts such as the Wikimedia Foundation's annual fundraising drives. These contributions allow Wikipedia to keep its servers running, expand its content, and encourage digital literacy around the world. Most people try to hire wikipedia writers and those writers also contribute some money to the charity. Furthermore, Wikipedia indirectly contributes to charitable endeavors by offering easily accessible information on numerous charitable organizations, causes, and philanthropic activities, so helping individuals and institutions to make informed charitable giving decisions.
