Legacy giving

Pledge a gift to Wikimedia UK in your will

Leaving a gift in your will is a powerful way to ensure that future generations continue to benefit from the wealth of knowledge available on platforms like Wikipedia, Wikimedia Commons, and others.

At Wikimedia UK, we believe in the power of knowledge and the importance of sharing it freely with everyone. Our mission is to enable people in the UK to engage with open knowledge and access reliable information in order to develop their understanding of the world, and make informed decisions about issues that affect them.

How your gift can make a difference

Your gift can help us:

As we are a registered charity (England and Wales 1144513 and Scotland SC048644), any gift left to Wikimedia UK in your will would not be subject to Inheritance Tax

Key steps

We understand that this is a very personal and important decision. So if you’re thinking of leaving us a gift, we strongly recommend that you speak with a solicitor to ensure that your Will reflects your wishes accurately. If you’re not sure and would like to speak to someone at Wikimedia UK, please email fundraising@wikimedia.org.uk or call 0203 3720 760. We’ll be more than happy to help. 

By including Wikimedia UK in your Will, you’re not just leaving a financial legacy; you’re ensuring that the values of openness, knowledge sharing, and community, continue to thrive.

Let us know

While it’s not required, we’d love to hear from you if you choose to include us in your Will. This will allow us to express our gratitude and keep you informed about our work.

Support Wikimedia UK

Whether you make a single gift or pledge a monthly donation, together we will achieve our vision of a world where every single human being can share in the sum of all knowledge.
