Financial Summary 2017
"Expenses qualifying as public support" refers to donations not exceeding 2% of annual income, and donations from government bodies or public charities of any size. To be approved for nonprofit tax status as a public charity, we need ⅓ public support, though in some circumstances ⅒ may be sufficient. If you'd like to see Miraheze continue its progress towards being a nonprofit, please Donate today.

The state of Miraheze looks stable, as we already have enough money to continue operating through the next year. Much of this is from the WMID donation which has kept our finances stable, but it looks like we really need to work on getting more small donations for the year to come.

Our expansion to serve a larger community has increased the need for new servers, and staff are investigating what our best value would be among the various cloud and leasing providers. We will also have additional expenses associated with incorporating as a 501(c)3 nonprofit. We may eventually need paid staff, but there are still no plans for that. The most important contributions you can make are technical expertise and adding educational and informative content to your wikis.
