A 501©(3) organization is a United States corporation, trust, unincorporated association, or other type of organization exempt from federal income tax under section 501©(3) of Title 26 of the United States Code. It is one of the 29 types of 501© nonprofit organizations in the U.S.
They made $15M in profit from donations? I used to work in the nonprofit sector and that was the kind of shit that made me leave the industry.
I feel like more NFPs are like the NFL than MSF
WTF?
IKR?
And just to drive it home: The WMF spend only a fraction of their money on IT and lawyers, i.e. the one useful thing they do for Wikipedia. The rest just goes into salaries and ominous ever-increasing funds.
Kinda mixed feelings on Wikipedia tbh. Like it does have its problems but I’m not sure a better online encyclopedia is really possible in a western capitalist society. I wonder if the Baidu wiki site is good.
Baidu Baike is still quite liberal. I’d recommend checking out ProleWiki, and Cuba’s EcuRed.
Prole wiki denied my account creation request, I spent longer on it that I ever have with a job application
:(
Its the go to first source for a lot of people, if youre in a group I always recommend getting yourselves a wikipedia article.
doesnt mean its not chock full of imperialist dogshit, but at least they have a lot of source material about colonisation and the like.
OH and btw, use the auto translate in your web browser to read the russian language pages about your favourite soviet citizen, it’s a treat
What’s old Jimbo getting paid these days? It should be on their 990
https://projects.propublica.org/nonprofits/organizations/200049703
Jimbo isn’t in charge of the org anymore it seems but the current CEO makes close to 500k. Who knows what whack shit they’re up to wiki might just own his fucking house or something
$500k is a bullshit figure to pay someone for running a nonprofit. I’m never giving one red cent to Wikipedia out of sheer fucking spite at this point.
If you spend time editing wikipedia I wouldnt even feel guilty, you’re doing the work for the site
Donate to the Internet Archive. They need it more.
they basically rolled over in their legal fight with the UK govt then instead of doing their threatened UK-Wide block they just asked for more money without explaining the news on their homepage.
I doubt most of their UK users know what the fuck is about to happen to their “unbiased and uncensored” encyclopedia. The fact they’re not announcing anything makes the cynical side of me think they’ll bend the knee and just hide it instead of having a spine.
