You deserve an explanation, so please don't skip this 1-minute read. It's Friday, June 27, and our fundraiser won't last long. If you've lost count of how many times you've visited Wikipedia this year, we hope that means it's given you at least ¥300 of knowledge. Please join the 2% of readers who give what they can to help keep this valuable resource ad-free, up-to-date, and available for all.

After nearly 25 years, Wikipedia is still the internet we were promised—an oasis of free and collaborative knowledge. By visiting Wikipedia today, you're choosing a free and fair internet: a space where you can find facts you need without being distracted by ads or the agendas of wealthy owners.

Most readers don't donate, so your gift matters. If Wikipedia provides you with ¥300 of knowledge, please donate ¥300 right now—or consider a monthly gift to help all year long. Thank you.
