Wikimedia Fundraising: Where Is Your Money Going?

http://wikipediocracy.com/2015/05/10/wikimedia-fundraising-where-is-your-money-going/

    "The following table is compiled from the "Statements of Activities"
     (ending 30 June) in the Financial Reports available here. Note that
     WMF fundraising was paltry and amateurish, until Sue Gardner (T-H-L)
     became Director in 2007. Unfortunately, expenses rose at a similar
     rate -- mostly staff salaries, travel and miscellaneous. The actual
     hosting and bandwidth charges to keep Wikipedia and its allied
     projects online have been roughly constant since 2009, at about $2.5
     million. Nonetheless, the WMF managed to increase its net assets by a
     factor of 1000 in only 10 years. By 2015 the WMF was awash in money."
