Over 500,000 individuals made donations, doubling on 2009's count.
Donors from 140 countries donated an average of $22, and $13.7 million of the donations came via the Internet. The rest came from direct checks.
All the money will go to paying off Wikipedia's ever-increasing infrastructure costs, staffing, program support and grants.
Concluded Wales (via PCM):
This outpouring of support by hundreds of thousands of ordinary people from all walks of life is a testament to the spirit of the Wikimedia movement. Wikipedia is a public resource created and maintained by hundreds of thousands of volunteers, relied on by over 400 million people and paid for by half a million donors. It's truly user-created, supported and maintained.
