The Wikimedia Foundation, Inc. is a non-profit charitable organization headquartered in San Francisco, California, United States, and organized under the laws of the state of Florida, where it was initially based. It operates several online collaborative wiki projects including Wikipedia, Wiktionary, Wikiquote, Wikibooks (including Wikijunior), Wikisource, Wikimedia Commons, Wikispecies, Wikinews, Wikiversity, Wikimedia Incubator and Meta-Wiki. Its flagship project, the English-language Wikipedia, ranks among the top ten most-visited websites worldwide.

The creation of the foundation was officially announced on June 20, 2003 by Wikipedia co-founder Jimmy Wales, who had been operating Wikipedia under the aegis of his company Bomis. The name “Wikimedia” was coined by Sheldon Rampton in a post to the English Wikipedia’s mailing list in March 2003.

With the foundation’s announcement, Wales also transferred ownership of all Wikipedia, Wiktionary and Nupedia domain names to Wikimedia along with the copyrights for all materials related to these projects that were created by Bomis employees or Wales himself. The computer equipment used to run all the Wikimedia projects was also donated by Wales to the foundation, which also acquired the domain names “wikimedia.org” and “wikimediafoundation.org”
