Include Wikimedia CH in your will

Is anonymous donation possible?
Yes, it is. If you want to make an anonymous donation, you must do it via our partner, the online philanthropy portal StiftungSchweiz, who will transfer your amount to Wikimedia CH but not your personal data.

Please note that we will not be able to issue a tax receipt for anonymous donations.
