Each year, when the Wikimedia Foundation shares our financial disclosures, we release additional information to explain the numbers more fully. Our goal is to give community members, donors, readers, and other stakeholders insight into how we spend the funds we raise to advance free knowledge.

This post explains key takeaways from the Wikimedia Foundation and the Wikimedia Endowment’s recently-published audit reports (also known as Audited Financial Statements) for fiscal year 2025–2026. These audit reports cover financial activities from July 2025–June 2026, providing a comprehensive picture of the Foundation’s and the Endowment’s financial balances and activities using US accounting standards. Sharing and contextualizing these reports gives us the opportunity to report on how our spending each year aligns with our Annual Plan goals and advances our free knowledge mission.
