  The Board of Trustees 
  Wikimedia Foundation, Inc: 
  
  *Opinion*
  
  We have audited the consolidated financial statements of Wikimedia Foundation, Inc and its subsidiary (the 
  Foundation), which comprise the consolidated statements of financial position as of June 30, 2024 and 2023, 
  and the related consolidated statements of activities, and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related 
  notes to the consolidated financial statements. 
  
  In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the 
  financial position of the Foundation as of June 30, 2024 and 2023, and the results of its operations and its cash 
  flows for the years then ended in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. 
  
  *Basis for Opinion*
  
  We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of 
  America (GAAS). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors’ 
  Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements section of our report. We are required to 
  be independent of the Foundation and to meet our other ethical responsibilities, in accordance with the relevant 
  ethical requirements relating to our audits. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient 
  and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.
