Wikipedia's greatest asset is its team of volunteers. These volunteers have a variety of reasons to contribute, but none of them is "make other people wealthy" (except perhaps in the sense of "wealth of knowledge", hah).The volunteers also collectively own the content. Being freely licensed, it's portable—if the volunteers leave, they can legally take a copy with them and start up a new site with the same content.When putting ads on Wikipedia was suggested back in the early years, before the founding of the Wikimedia Foundation (WMF) non-profit, some volunteers from the Spanish-language Wikipedia did exactly that, forming the Enciclopedia Libre Universal en Español—fortunately, the Spanish Wikipedia recovered once the formation of the WMF alleviated the concern of volunteer work being used for profit.Making Wikipedia for-profit would have at any point been a slap in the face of all the volunteers who made Wikipedia happen. In other words, it wasn't an option.It also doesn't help that Wikipedia started around the time of the bust of the dot-com bubble, so even if it had been otherwise practical, it might not have been profitable then.

You should create a diverse fundraising strategy and plan that doesn't exhaust your donors and engages different types of donors. Diversity in efforts should ensure you don't overwhelm all of them at the same time. For example, develop:Annual Giving ProgramsA set of events that attract new and current donors; attendees should be charged for registration and have the ability to solicit others to donate on their behalf. Include events that are physical (runs, walks) and sedentary (craft beer and foodie related). You can have an event a month if each event is different. Avoid the holidays and end of year giving, however. Leave these times for aggressive email marketing.A booth you can bring to other events and corporate sites to solicit donations and volunteers.An email marketing program that ties to the events, any urgent needs and end-of-year giving.Easy to access online giving through your website; include the ability to donate vehicles and supplies.A personal fundraising program that allows individuals to host their own events on your behalf.Corporate sponsorships and partnerships.A grant program that solicits funds through government and other grants.Sustaining donor cultivation program which converts one-time givers to give monthly.A donor retention strategy that recognizes donors. For example, staff should be calling all donors to thank them. Donors should be invited to your facility for an open house. Send them holiday cards and share successes.To achieve the above you'll need a donor database (a CRM system, with the ability to send email), an online donation form for your website, online event registration and a tie to a vehicle donation site.Major Gifts and Estate GiftsAnalyze your data base for donors that have given over a certain amount and begin to cultivate a relationship that leads to major gifts.Cultivate estate donors (those who leave money to you in their wills) from your major donors.To achieve the above, you'll need a polished representative from your organization who can meet personally with donors.Make sure you have a strong communications program as well: a clear, emotionally-rich website, presence on tv and radio, articles written for online news, active social media (all free) and advertising if you can afford it.Finally, ensure your Board is actively reaching out to potential major donors and corporate partners. Your Board should include people who have ties to the business community and who can leverage those relationships to solicit major gifts.

I respect my neighbouring state Tamil nadu as they unite for any cause irrespective of status, religion.When Tamil nadu was hit by floods, not only government but all the people of Tamil nadu participated in rescue operations, you may think that may be police or army may have helped along with government but all the actors of Kollywood gave their hand in the form of donations and also by participating directly in distribution of food or clothes.When Chennai received the most rainfall in a century, flooding the city and damaged the properties of hundreds. The city has respite from the rains, and is recovered with alot of aid. The major credit for this goes to the Army, NDRF officials and the volunteers. The heavy rains flooded the homes of several, including successful Kollywood actors Siddharth and Vishal. But instead of focusing only on themselves, these actors decided to help others in need. The first person to venture out to help the distressed was actor Siddharth. The star teamed up with popular radio jockey Balaji to help people in different parts of the city. They used social media to communicate with people, and address their needs. And support came in from all parts of the city. People came forward to help them by volunteering, donating funds, and even offering their vehicles for transportation. Every actor did what they can do. It is very happy to see a celebrity leaving his luxury and works for people.Not only actors but,With Chennai reeling under the impact of the floods, Chess Grandmaster Vishwanathan Anand, in a wonderful gesture, has thrown open the doors of his house for flood-affected people from neighbouring slums.He is also set to announce a monetary contribution for the relief fund shortly.“Since it was difficult to leave Akhil (Anand's son) and elderly father-in-law and at home and venture out to offer relief and assistance, we chose to open our doors for the affected. Following the first floods, we had close to 20 people, including two pregnant women, from the neighbouring slums staying over at our place.My maid, who lost her home and all her belongings, too came over along with her extended family and stayed with us. Food was cooked in large amounts for all those at home as well as handed over to volunteers for distribution” Anand's wife Aruna explained.During jallikattu ban, people of Tamil nadu united to preserve their culture.Tamil cinema’s biggest stars have descended at the Nadigar Sangam grounds in Chennai’s T Nagar, lending support to the massive youth protests over the jallikattu issue.The silent protest that began at 8am has seen a steady stream of stars walking in. Sitting under a tent, stars such as Rajinikant, Kamal Haasan, Suriya, Ajith, Trisha among others lent support to the demand that the Supreme Court ban on the bull-taming sport be lifted.Not only for their state but Tamil nadu supports it's neighbouring state Andhra Pradesh when one of city Visakhapatnam was hit by hudhud cyclone, donations were sent by the celebrities.Tami Nadu has sent 100 transformers, 5,000 electric poles, 10,000 insulators and other equipment to restore power supply in the affected areas of Andhra Pradesh.The state will also send a team of highway officials and workers to repair the damaged roads.Actor Suriya donated Rs.50 lakh on behalf of his entire family. While the 'Singam' star has himself donated Rs.25 lakh, his brother Karthi and cousin K.E. Gnanavel Raja donated the rest of the remaining Rs.25 lakh together.Actor Vishal donated 15 lakhs for the cyclone affected city Visakhapatnam.And the bottom of the answer ends with Thaliava Rajinikanth big heart.Big hearted Tamil nadu had earned my respectK.V.K: )Sources : South Cinema stars unite to help flood-hit TNChennai Floods: Reel Heroes Became Real Heroes -Vishwanathan Anand Opens His Doors To Flood-Hit Slum Dwellers In ChennaiIn pictures: Kollywood's silent protest for jallikattu - No lights, no camera, only actionCyclone Hudhud: Tamil Nadu announces Rs 5-crore aid to Andhra Pradesh - Times of IndiaSuriya, Karthi and Vishal donate for Hudhud victims - Times of India
