The majority of Wikimedia Foundation annual income is raised through an online campaign supported by individual readers and content contributors.[1] In the 2013-14 fiscal year, WMF raised $51 million, including $37 million from over 2.5 million individual Wikipedia readers around the world giving an average of $15 to the online campaign.[2]
Funds distributed by the Wikimedia Grantmaking Programs are a small portion of the total annual income, which also supports WMF technical production and engineering, legal advocacy, communications, and all other programs.[3] In fiscal year 2013-14, Grants count for 17% of the total organizational budget, with other Grantmaking Program costs at 7% of total organizational budget, compared to Product and Engineering costs which are 43% of the total budget. Fiscal year 2012-13 showed a similar breakdown?[4]
