expenses"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p><b>The world is currently in a period of increasing financial instability.</b> The instability of our global economic outlook (including inflation and other concerning financial signals) creates uncertainty for the future financial projections of the Foundation. Currency fluctuations are also adding some unpredictability to the Foundation's finances as it raises and spends funds in multiple currencies. </p><p><b>Slowing budget growth.</b> The Foundation's budget grew dramatically over the past five years, fueled in part by the creation of an ambitious Movement Strategy. Since last year, budget growth has been flattening; for this upcoming fiscal year (2023−2024), the growth flattened even more, to the point that it will not easily keep up with inflation and other unavoidable cost increases. What this means is that the Foundation had to reduce internal expenses in some areas to fund cost increases in other areas, including keeping our grants programs at similar levels to last year. Based on the information we have now, we expect to maintain an effectively flat budget for the next few years. </p><p>Most expense categories are affected by things like inflation, cost of living adjustments, and other unavoidable year-on-year cost increases, which means that the budget grows even if nothing else changes. To maintain current staffing levels (no additional overall growth in staff), the Foundation's annual budget would need to increase by 6−7% annually. We are looking instead at annual budget increases of about 3-5%, which has meant that we needed to actively reduce expenses to make up for those types of increases. </p><p><b>Reductions in expenses.</b> Based on projections, we need to reduce expenses by approximately $8 million in the 2023−2024 budget compared to our current <a href="https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/runrate" class="extiw" title="wikt:runrate">run rate</a>. As a consequence, the Foundation is making budget cuts both in non-personnel and personnel costs. We focused first on preserving funding to grants and Movement support and funding inflationary increases in several core operating areas like data centers. Then we worked to identify reductions in non-staffing expense categories like professional services, legal fees, and subscriptions. However, it became necessary to consider staffing expenses, which affected some vacant/unfilled roles and about 5% of occupied roles. The Board of Trustees agreed to the availability (if it is needed) of 1% of the organization's financial reserve for one-time, non-recurring expenses. </p><p><b>Movement funding will not decrease.</b> The Wikimedia Foundation raises the vast majority of resources for our Movement. We have an obligation to consider the financial sustainability for other entities that rely on funding from these resources. Therefore, we prioritized cuts in other areas so that the Foundation's overall grants budget will not be reduced. The overall budget for grants will increase by an average of 7% across all regions to keep up with global inflationary costs, support newcomers to the Movement, and increase funding for conferences and Movement events. </p><p>As the chart below depicts, Personnel costs followed by Grants and Movement Support remain the two largest expense categories at the Foundation, making up 59% and 14% of the budget respectively. Grants and Movement Support (which includes support for Wikidata) makes up a slightly higher share of the budget this year compared to last. </p> <figure class="mw-default-size mw-halign-center" typeof="mw:File/Frameless"><a href="/wiki/File:Wikimedia_Foundation_annual_plan_2023%E2%88%922024_draft_-_Expenses_by_category.png" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/a/ad/Wikimedia_Foundation_annual_plan_2023%E2%88%922024_draft_-_Expenses_by_category.png/550px-Wikimedia_Foundation_annual_plan_2023%E2%88%922024_draft_-_Expenses_by_category.png" decoding="async" width="550" height="362" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/a/ad/Wikimedia_Foundation_annual_plan_2023%E2%88%922024_draft_-_Expenses_by_category.png/825px-Wikimedia_Foundation_annual_plan_2023%E2%88%922024_draft_-_Expenses_by_category.png 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/a/ad/Wikimedia_Foundation_annual_plan_2023%E2%88%922024_draft_-_Expenses_by_category.png/1100px-Wikimedia_Foundation_annual_plan_2023%E2%88%922024_draft_-_Expenses_by_category.png 2x" data-file-width="2048" data-file-height="1347"/></a><figcaption></figcaption></figure> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2 ext-discussiontools-init-section"><h2 id="Product_and_Revenue_"Dance_Partners"" data-mw-thread-id="h-Product_and_Revenue_"Dance_Partners""><span id="Product_and_Revenue_.22Dance_Partners.22"></span><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-Product_and_Revenue_"Dance_Partners""></span>Product and Revenue "Dance Partners"<span data-mw-comment-end="h-Product_and_Revenue_"Dance_Partners""></span></h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Wikimedia_Foundation_Annual_Plan/2023-2024/Finances&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Product and Revenue "Dance Partners""><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>As part of multi-year strategic planning, we need to deepen the collective understanding among all stakeholders of Wikimedia's financial model, and the trade-offs inherent in any choices we make. Our current revenue streams are closely linked to both product and community decisions (e.g. how we approach banners, how we consider the Enterprise model, realism on the approach to endowment fundraising). </p><p>Online behavior of content consumption has indicated for several years that relying on banner fundraising alone would not be a future-proof revenue strategy for our Movement. The Movement Strategy working group on Revenue Streams recognized that banner fundraising might not prove to remain a major source of revenue by 2030, encouraging us to adapt to changing reader behaviors and to <a href="/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Movement_Strategy/Recommendations/Iteration_3/Promote_Sustainability_and_Resilience" title="Special:MyLanguage/Movement Strategy/Recommendations/Iteration 3/Promote Sustainability and Resilience">diversify streams of revenue</a>. </p><p>In that sense, product and revenue are "dance partners:" these decisions need to be coordinated and intentional to avoid stepping on each other's toes, going into opposite directions, or stumbling into each other. Decisions to prioritize one kind of revenue, or restrict another, lead to real trade-offs, especially if those decisions are at odds with the behaviors of our readers: a decision to limit revenue from Enterprise leads to revenue trade-offs in a world where an increasing number of people access Wikimedia content via large commercial reusers. Conversely, community constraints on the content and format of fundraising banners involve revenue trade-offs in what has historically been our most stable source of funding for the Movement. </p><p>There is no simple answer to these questions; "revenue strategy … is <a href="/wiki/2018_Revenue_strategy/Summary" title="2018 Revenue strategy/Summary">inextricably intertwined with the larger decisions</a> we have to make as an organization and a Movement," and we will need to continue having discussions about these topics in the years ahead, including with the Wikimedia Foundation Board, the Endowment Board, and community leadership structures (like a future Global Council). <big> </big></p><big><table class="wikitable"> <tbody><tr> <th style="background: #970302; color: white">Product </th> <td rowspan="2" style="color: #970302">We need more page views on <i>our</i> websites … </td> <td rowspan="2" style="color: #970302">We need more focused initiatives and programs … </td> <td rowspan="2" style="color: #970302">We need to consider charging more to large-scale reusers … </td></tr> <tr> <td rowspan="2"><figure class="mw-halign-center" typeof="mw:File/Frameless"><a href="/wiki/File:Phenakistoscope_3g07690d.gif" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/d/d3/Phenakistoscope_3g07690d.gif/150px-Phenakistoscope_3g07690d.gif" decoding="async" width="150" height="150" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/d/d3/Phenakistoscope_3g07690d.gif/225px-Phenakistoscope_3g07690d.gif 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/d/d3/Phenakistoscope_3g07690d.gif/300px-Phenakistoscope_3g07690d.gif 2x" data-file-width="800" data-file-height="800"/></a><figcaption></figcaption></figure> </td></tr> <tr> <td rowspan="2" style="color: #0E65C0">… to raise more (unrestricted) online/banner fundraising … </td> <td rowspan="2" style="color: #0E65C0">… to raise more major gifts … </td> <td rowspan="2" style="color: #0E65C0">… to build a sustainable revenue channel beyond charity… </td></tr> <tr> <th style="background: #0E65C0; color: white">Revenue </th></tr> <tr> <th style="background: #404040; color: white">Trade-offs </th> <td style="color: #404040">… but this is not where search and other internet trends are heading. </td> <td style="color: #404040">… but this is generally less flexible funding and can bring more risks. </td> <td style="color: #404040">… but this has trade-offs in how some people understand our mission. </td></tr></tbody></table></big><big></big><p><big></big> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2 ext-discussiontools-init-section"><h2 id="Short-term_Revenue_&_Digital_fundraising" data-mw-thread-id="h-Short-term_Revenue_&_Digital_fundraising"><span id="Short-term_Revenue_.26_Digital_fundraising"></span><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-Short-term_Revenue_&_Digital_fundraising"></span>Short-term Revenue & Digital fundraising<span data-mw-comment-end="h-Short-term_Revenue_&_Digital_fundraising"></span></h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Wikimedia_Foundation_Annual_Plan/2023-2024/Finances&action=edit&section=3" title="Edit section: Short-term Revenue & Digital fundraising"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Revenue for the Foundation has grown by a factor of 5 over the last decade, but this growth is reaching some limits due to a convergence of factors. </p><p><b>Trend 1: Donation revenue model relies on a high volume of readers visiting our website.</b> The success of our banner fundraising model has been powered by high readership on Wikipedia.

In the United States, we observed a -7% decline in average monthly unique visitors between Jan-Dec 2019 and Jan-Dec 2021. </p><p>Additionally, brand health is weak among young audiences in our key revenue countries, presenting long term fundraising challenges. 18−24-year-olds are generally less likely to consider the brand, use it, or recommend it to their friends. This is the case across all markets, with particular issues in the United States, Germany, and South Africa, where most young people wouldn't recommend the brand. </p><p><span class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Frameless"><a href="/wiki/File:Likelihood_of_recommending_Wikipedia_to_a_friend_or_colleague_chart.png" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/b/bd/Likelihood_of_recommending_Wikipedia_to_a_friend_or_colleague_chart.png/440px-Likelihood_of_recommending_Wikipedia_to_a_friend_or_colleague_chart.png" decoding="async" width="440" height="469" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/b/bd/Likelihood_of_recommending_Wikipedia_to_a_friend_or_colleague_chart.png/660px-Likelihood_of_recommending_Wikipedia_to_a_friend_or_colleague_chart.png 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/b/bd/Likelihood_of_recommending_Wikipedia_to_a_friend_or_colleague_chart.png/880px-Likelihood_of_recommending_Wikipedia_to_a_friend_or_colleague_chart.png 2x" data-file-width="1026" data-file-height="1094"/></a></span> </p><p><b>Trend 3: Banner campaigns have been heavily optimized with more visible trade-offs.</b> When banner campaigns began, there were easy ways to increase revenue, and the targets were just a few million dollars per year. Over time, these campaigns have been heavily optimized. Different approaches are required to keep up with internet trends that are working against the traditional banner model. </p><p>Additionally, there are trade-offs in how we balance maximizing revenue with the impact on readers and volunteers. Over 75% of donors donate the first or second time they see a fundraising banner (see chart below). The return declines by showing a reader more banners and impacts the disruption to our readers and volunteers. The 2022 banner campaign on the English Wikipedia used lower-performing wording, and therefore required a longer campaign, more banner impressions, and more emails to past donors; it resulted in a $10 million decrease compared to the 2021 campaign. </p> <blockquote> <p><big><b>There are limits to running longer campaigns.</b></big> </p> <figure class="mw-default-size mw-halign-center" typeof="mw:File/Frameless"><a href="/wiki/File:Wikimedia_Foundation_annual_plan_2023%E2%88%922024_draft_-_Breakdown_of_donations_by_number_of_banner_impressions.png" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/1b/Wikimedia_Foundation_annual_plan_2023%E2%88%922024_draft_-_Breakdown_of_donations_by_number_of_banner_impressions.png/550px-Wikimedia_Foundation_annual_plan_2023%E2%88%922024_draft_-_Breakdown_of_donations_by_number_of_banner_impressions.png" decoding="async" width="550" height="340" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/1b/Wikimedia_Foundation_annual_plan_2023%E2%88%922024_draft_-_Breakdown_of_donations_by_number_of_banner_impressions.png/825px-Wikimedia_Foundation_annual_plan_2023%E2%88%922024_draft_-_Breakdown_of_donations_by_number_of_banner_impressions.png 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/1b/Wikimedia_Foundation_annual_plan_2023%E2%88%922024_draft_-_Breakdown_of_donations_by_number_of_banner_impressions.png/1100px-Wikimedia_Foundation_annual_plan_2023%E2%88%922024_draft_-_Breakdown_of_donations_by_number_of_banner_impressions.png 2x" data-file-width="1200" data-file-height="742"/></a><figcaption></figcaption></figure> <p>Over 75% of donors donate the first or second time they see a fundraising banner. </p><p>The return declines by showing a reader more banners and impacts the disruption to our readers and volunteers. </p> </blockquote> <p><ins id="trend4"></ins> <b>Trend 4: Anticipated decrease in fundraising efficiency.</b> Our fundraising ratio has been historically low and stable at $0.10 cost per dollar raised, driven by the high efficiency of banner revenue. As banner fundraising faces more constraints and diminishing returns, we need to consider increasing the share of revenue coming from other channels like email and major gifts, which incur higher costs. This will make fundraising ratios increase, to perhaps $0.12 cost per dollar raised (still much lower than the industry standard of $0.20). </p><p><b>Trend 5: Increasing major gifts requires broad organizational commitment.</b> Increasing major gifts is dependent on building a culture of philanthropy to clarify key metrics, accountability, and storytelling of the impact of our work. Commitment to accepting restricted gifts is essential to growing major gifts and comes with trade-offs. </p><p><b>Accountability to donors and culture of philanthropy.</b> We must better show causality and impact and prove that our work is actually "moving the needle" on Wikimedia projects, to replace the "leap of faith" our donors must currently make with demonstrable bona fides of our impact. We must also better develop directed gifts as part of our multi-year plans, to make large donations more meaningful and transformative, and develop the internal discipline and accountability processes to honor our commitments. To develop a culture of philanthropy, we must tell our story better to donors, and develop accessible materials and multimedia campaigns for the general public that explain the basics of how our projects and communities work. </p><p><b>There are still some positive trends and opportunities, but they will take time to develop and won't offset reduced growth in banners.</b> More donors are signing up for monthly recurring donations, and email revenue continues to grow. We have opportunities to strengthen our donor life cycle to increase how much a donor gives over their lifetime. We may also open new fundraising countries and explore new channels, but these won't offset declines in our major markets. Last, organizational commitment to accepting restricted gift opportunities is essential to growing major gifts. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2 ext-discussiontools-init-section"><h2 id="Multi-year_revenue_streams:_Endowment_and_Enterprise" data-mw-thread-id="h-Multi-year_revenue_streams:_Endowment_and_Enterprise"><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-Multi-year_revenue_streams:_Endowment_and_Enterprise"></span>Multi-year revenue streams: Endowment and Enterprise<span data-mw-comment-end="h-Multi-year_revenue_streams:_Endowment_and_Enterprise"></span></h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Wikimedia_Foundation_Annual_Plan/2023-2024/Finances&action=edit&section=4" title="Edit section: Multi-year revenue streams: Endowment and Enterprise"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Wikimedia_Endowment" data-mw-thread-id="h-Wikimedia_Endowment-Multi-year_revenue_streams:_Endowment_and_Enterprise"><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-Wikimedia_Endowment-Multi-year_revenue_streams:_Endowment_and_Enterprise"></span>Wikimedia Endowment<span data-mw-comment-end="h-Wikimedia_Endowment-Multi-year_revenue_streams:_Endowment_and_Enterprise"></span></h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Wikimedia_Foundation_Annual_Plan/2023-2024/Finances&action=edit&section=5" title="Edit section: Wikimedia Endowment"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <div class="noprint" lang="" dir="auto"> <dl><dd><i>Main article: </i><bdi lang=""><a href="/wiki/Wikimedia_Endowment" title="Wikimedia Endowment">Wikimedia Endowment</a></bdi></dd></dl> </div> <p><b>A permanent safekeeping fund to generate income to support the operations and activities of the Wikimedia projects in perpetuity.</b> The <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://wikimediaendowment.org/">Wikimedia Endowment</a> is a fund separate from the Wikimedia Foundation.

The Endowment reached this initial goal in June 2021, $30 million of which were directly contributed by the Wikimedia Foundation. </p><p><b>Revenue from the Endowment.</b> In 2023, the Endowment established a cost-sharing agreement with the Wikimedia Foundation, whereby the Endowment now compensates the Foundation for expenses it incurs on behalf of the Endowment. In 2022−2023, this amounted to around $1.8 million paid by the Endowment to the Foundation, the bulk of which represented the expense of Foundation staff working on Endowment matters. We expect a similar amount in 2023−2024. </p><p>Additionally, in January 2023 <a href="https://diff.wikimedia.org/2023/04/13/launching-the-first-grants-from-the-wikimedia-endowment-to-support-technical-innovation-in-wikimedia-projects/" class="extiw" title="wmfblog:2023/04/13/launching-the-first-grants-from-the-wikimedia-endowment-to-support-technical-innovation-in-wikimedia-projects/">the Endowment Board approved its first grants</a> to fund technical innovation on Wikimedia projects, to ensure that the Wikimedia projects stay relevant in a rapidly-changing technology landscape.

They represent a total of $3.2 million funding the following projects in the 2022−2023 fiscal year: Kiwix, Machine Learning, Abstract Wikipedia, and Wikidata. </p><p><b>Planned giving.</b> A planned gift, or a legacy gift, is a contribution of any amount that is agreed to in the present and given at a future date. These gifts are often made through a will; they can also be made through life insurance policies, retirement accounts, bank or brokerage accounts. We receive, on average, 183 times more funds from donors via legacy gifts than via all the gifts those same donors contribute during their lifetimes. Planned giving is a long-term investment with a higher return on investment than any other fundraising effort. By adding new planned giving revenue streams, we can build up a pipeline of commitments that will come to fruition in stages over the coming years. By 2050, planned gifts could be the primary funding source for the Endowment. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Wikimedia_Enterprise" data-mw-thread-id="h-Wikimedia_Enterprise-Multi-year_revenue_streams:_Endowment_and_Enterprise"><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-Wikimedia_Enterprise-Multi-year_revenue_streams:_Endowment_and_Enterprise"></span>Wikimedia Enterprise<span data-mw-comment-end="h-Wikimedia_Enterprise-Multi-year_revenue_streams:_Endowment_and_Enterprise"></span></h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Wikimedia_Foundation_Annual_Plan/2023-2024/Finances&action=edit&section=6" title="Edit section: Wikimedia Enterprise"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <div class="noprint" lang="" dir="auto"> <dl><dd><i>Main article: </i><bdi lang=""><a href="/wiki/Wikimedia_Enterprise" title="Wikimedia Enterprise">Wikimedia Enterprise</a></bdi></dd></dl> </div> <p><b>A way to adapt to how Wikimedia content is accessed.</b> The decrease in monthly unique visitors over the past few years (-7% between Jan-Dec 2019 and Jan-Dec 2021) is a challenge to our historic model for readership, contribution, and revenue.

This includes growth in grant and Movement funding while also preserving investment in areas like our data centers, which are required to keep Wikimedia projects available.

If needed (particularly to avoid additional personnel reductions), the Board of Trustees has agreed to make available ~1% of the organization's financial reserve for one-time, non-recurring expenses. </p><p><span class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Frameless"><a href="/wiki/File:Foundation_Annual_Plan_2023-2024_budget_projection_chart.png" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/d/dc/Foundation_Annual_Plan_2023-2024_budget_projection_chart.png/330px-Foundation_Annual_Plan_2023-2024_budget_projection_chart.png" decoding="async" width="330" height="362" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/d/dc/Foundation_Annual_Plan_2023-2024_budget_projection_chart.png 1.5x" data-file-width="355" data-file-height="389"/></a></span> </p><p><i>*Note: In 2019−2020 we were able to use a budget underrun to pay forward grants for the future in order to provide funding certainty for our grants programs in an uncertain time.
