The Wikimedia Foundation has released its Form 990 for fiscal year 2023-2024, which ran from July 2023 to June 2024. The Form 990 is the annual tax form required of all nonprofits in the United States. It takes the financial information from an organization’s audit report–released earlier in the fiscal year–and supplements it with additional information around governance practices and activities.

- Highest rating obtained from Charity Navigator for governance policies and practices
