As we know Wikipedia is a non-profit website and it's founded by the donation of interested and kind users. There are some points I'm going to highlight as I explain why exactly Wikipedia needs money.
1. First of all Wikipedia is providing users with the worlds best encyclopedia FREE OF CHARGE!
2. If you are a user of Wikipedia, you must have noticed that there are no ad banners in their sites. Wikipedia is determined to serve without any advertisement, which is loss of potential money.
3. They are giving users access to a standard environment of encyclopedia with the help of some dedicated web designers, engineers, and programmers. They are also maintaining huge servers, and providing copyrighted elements free of charge, etc.
These things cost a lot of money, of which we are the only source. Therefore we have to donate money to Wikipedia for the present and future generations.
I might add:
1. Wikipedia is not a credible website anyone can change information on it, I can't use it in any of my references for my college work.
2. Wikipedia can't have banners and advertisements because they are non profit.
3. Not to my knowledge there are no references to other authors, but to other web pages where the source of the information is from. We don't have to donate money to Wikipedia because its providing a service which is already free.

How much money has wikipedia's donations for 2009 made?
"why would anyone donate to wikipedia they dont need money so to answer your question hopefully not much" What an ignorant answer. The truth is that wikipedia receives it's funding through donations. They have a staff of a meager 23 and run the world's 4th most visited website for a mere $6 million per year. The fact is, they do need money. They will never display advertisement as this would compromise the integrity of the whole idea of wikipedia. To answer the original question, they pulled in just over $6m for 2009.
