Google donates the Wikimedia Foundation an amount of $2 million. The Foundation funds Wikipedia in various languages, Wikiquote, Wikibooks and other projects.

The non-for-profit organization has 33 employees in its staff and in 2009 the foundation was donated more than $6 million.

While Google’s gift will cover Wikipedia's expenses for some time there is still problems the site faces as the number of footsoldiers willing to edit the site for free is declining.
