The Wikimedia Foundation, Inc. (WMF) is an American non-profit organization headquartered in San Francisco, California.

History
The Wikimedia Foundation was created to manage the growing needs of Wikipedia, which was launched in January 2001. As Wikipedia's popularity and content grew, the need for a dedicated organization to handle its operations became apparent. The foundation was incorporated in St. Petersburg, Florida, and later moved its headquarters to San Francisco.

Governance
The Wikimedia Foundation is governed by a Board of Trustees, which is responsible for overseeing the foundation's operations and strategic direction. The board includes community-elected members, appointed members, and founder Jimmy Wales. The day-to-day operations are managed by the CEO and other senior staff.
Funding
The Wikimedia Foundation is primarily funded through donations from individuals, with additional support from grants and partnerships. It conducts annual fundraising campaigns to support its operations and ensure the continued availability of its projects.
