If you're able/comfortable, please consider setting up a recurring donation. For long-term planning reasons, it's helpful for organizations to have a consistent recurring revenue stream that they can use to project assets further into the future. One-off donations are good, too! But if you're going to consistently send them money anyway, you may as well do it in a predictable manner to help their accounting.

Wikipedia reminded me multiple times to donate to the Internet Archive this year.

Another chance to upvote the donation link to top thread on an IA story since a direct submission got swallowed by the dupe detector! They are doing such much amazing things.

https://archive.org/donate

Your Donation Will Be Matched 2-to-1! [...] Right now, we have a 2-to-1 Matching Gift Campaign, tripling the impact of every donation. (from the home page)

Same. Oh hey these scammers are asking for money again? Wait, I haven’t given to IA in a while.

Haha, i know what you mean...my mind works the same way ;)

Is this so Wikipedia can be archived by the IA?

I always take the wikipedia donation drive as a reminder to donate to archive.org instead.

It's a joke. Hacker News doesn't like donating to Wikipedia; many choose to donate to Internet Archive instead.

HN doesn't mind donating to Wikipedia, they dislike donating to Wikimedia. That one letter is a big difference.

Is there really a way to donate specifically to Wikipedia? I've never seen it in any of the many, many threads.

As far as I know there isn't... that's the problem.
