Founded in 2015, Miraheze is a community-centric, ad free, 100% open-source, and locally controlled wiki hosting platform funded 100% by donations from community members, in part to maintain editorial independence and freedom from third parties. All of Miraheze's volunteers are unpaid, so monetary donations entirely fund Miraheze's hosting and legal (tax) expenses.
Miraheze is operated by Miraheze Limited, which is registered in England and Wales (Registration Number: 12323854).
Miraheze solely runs on donations, but donations can fluctate over the months. Having monthly donations - recurring donations - provides a sense of financial security and stability to Miraheze. As of January 2023, Miraheze is spending about $620/month (£515) to provide all of its services to the community. If 100% of our expenses will be received every month, Miraheze can invest in new hardware and services with confidence. 💖

$2 a month
SelectYou might wonder how much $2 is, but for Miraheze $2 means a lot! If 150 people donate this each month, Miraheze would receive more than it spends.
We believe in the model of having many donors donating a little bit, recurringly. Go for it! 🎉
$10 a month
Select$10 might not seem like such a large sum, but it is to us! If 50 people donated $10 each month, we would already be receiving more than we spend,.

$18 a month
SelectThe Site Reliability Engineering team loves to drink coffee or tea! Working for Miraheze means they make longer days, since they combine their work with daily school or job obligations, so they could definitely use some energy. Will you fund them a drink each month? ☕
* A virtual cup of coffee or tea, actually. Unless we meet each other in the future :)
$620 a month
Select$620, why is there a tier for that amount? Well, $620 is exactly what it takes to fund Miraheze a full month* of hosting expenses! Miraheze is small but efficient: we don't have to pay for travel or housing, but Miraheze cannot exist without servers. From the database servers to the web servers and all other miscellaneous services. 🖥️
