About Wikimedia Foundation

The Wikimedia Foundation, a nonprofit organization headquartered in San Francisco, California, is dedicated to promoting the growth, development, and distribution of free, multilingual content globally. Employing over 500 contractors and staff across diverse fields such as business development, IT, editing, media, and software development, the Foundation supports flexible work arrangements including full-time, hybrid, and fully remote roles, many of which offer the option to work from anywhere. The organization is also sustained by hundreds of volunteers who contribute content to Wikipedia and other projects, all overseen by a board of trustees responsible for guiding long-term strategy and fundraising. Wikimedia operates some of the world’s largest collaboratively edited reference projects, with Wikipedia ranking among the most visited websites globally. In addition to Wikipedia, the Foundation supports a suite of free-knowledge initiatives including Wikiquote, Wikisource, Wikidata, Wiktionary, Wikimedia Commons, MediaWiki, Wikiversity, Wikispecies, and Wikibooks. Driven by its mission to provide unlimited access to knowledge, the Wikimedia Foundation prioritizes maintaining the security, speed, and availability of its platforms to users worldwide.
