Amazon Pay
You can make a donation in U.S. Dollars through Amazon Pay, please select an amount and choose "Amazon Pay". If you are donating via Amazon in a currency other than U.S. Dollars, please be aware that your funding source may be rejected or that you may experience extra charges associated with converting a charge into another currency. We encourage you to contact your bank for more information.
Bitcoin
Alternatively, make a recurring Bitcoin donation
Please note that the Wikimedia Foundation can only refund Bitcoin donations in Bitcoin. Because we do not store Bitcoins, refunds will be calculated based on the U.S. Dollar amount we received via instant exchange at the time of the donation, using our payment processor's Bitcoin sell rate when the refund is issued. The Wikimedia Foundation is not responsible for any change in value based on fluctuating exchange rates.
