[edit] Amazing growth

2011 has been an amazing year for RationalWiki and the RationalWiki Foundation. Our daily and monthly traffic grew by over 300 percent over the course of the year and this month is set to be our most significant month ever.

We have seen our presence on search engines increase drastically. Not only are we returning high up for major issues on the subjects of pseudoscience, quack medicine, logic and internet culture but we are also becoming the go to references for many hundreds of dangerous products, hucksters and scams. We are in a unique position to cover topics that other places can't, either because they are unwilling or unable. We are building a source of information that is rapidly becoming a vital element in an age that is seeing a significant rise in falsified and ridiculous ideas that are directly endangering people's lives and welfare.

[edit] Empowering a community

We are also building something amazing, uniting a global community of like minded people. Showing people that they are not alone and can be empowered to make the world a more rational place. We have seen significant growth in social media outlets directly related to our website and our mission and have projects underway to see that significantly expand in 2012.

All of this is only possible because of our amazing users. The Foundation that runs this website and all our projects is governed by users from this site who are elected by users. Beyond that our funding comes exclusively from donations. Without your support we cannot continue.

[edit] Exciting future

This year will be an amazing opportunity for RationalWiki. Both behind the scenes and on the web we are looking to significantly expand our operations and integrate more fully with other rational and skeptical groups and communities. We need people to stand behind us now more than ever to make sure we have the resources we need to move forward with everything that we have planned. Because of delays dealing with solidifying our corporate and tax status we have been limited in our recent fundraising. That's all straight now and be on the look out for a more complete and professional account of our corporation and its books than ever before. But our current coffers are empty at the end of February.

[edit] We need your help now!

Our initial goal of $2500 will ensure our operating costs are met as well as making sure we have the funds to move forward with several significant plans for the Foundation this year. There is practically zero over head expenditures for the Foundation as we all work as volunteers, minus a few financial charges every penny donated to us goes directly to supporting this website and its mission.
