Google donates $ 2 million to the Wikimedia Foundation

Jimmy Wales, the founder of Wikipedia, tweeted a large amount of money that came to the Wikimedia Foundation account as a donation from Google. This is a very necessary and substantial assistance to a free project, which constantly needs financial resources. An official statement about this should be published today in the evening.

For the 2009-2010 fiscal year, the organization managed to attract $ 8 million in charitable aid at the expense of 230,000 donations, that is, the average amount of the transfer was slightly less than $ 35.
