When the WMF announced the creation of an endowment with the Tides Foundation in January 2016, on Wikipedia’s 15th birthday, its goal was to accumulate $100 million over 10 years, as “a permanent source of funding to ensure Wikipedia thrives for generations to come.”

Just five years later, the endowment passed $90 million, and the $100 million mark, now described as an “initial goal,” will be reached this year.

Which partly explains Wikipedia's political stance.
