Dude,Where's My Donations? Wikimedia gives another $1M to non-Wikimedia projects

Thank you for explaining this. Looking through the Tides Foundation's own financial reports, I can find only aggregated reports, except for Tide's own Form 990 which says that they gave $3M back to the Wikimedia Foundation in their 2021 financial year (this disclosure I imagine is for tax rebate purposes?).

In any case, thank you for saving £2.20 of my own expenses and the IRS a letter asking about a non-existent 501(c)(3) ;)

You're welcome. :)

Yes, in the Tides Form 990 nothing is broken down, so you can't see what the revenue and spending was. Jimmy Wales actually acknowledged that in this discussion:

But that is all he said ... we're still waiting for proper disclosure of over 7 years of financial records ...
