Wikipedia and its fellow sites are hosted by the Wikimedia Foundation, a non-profit organisation based in the United States.

However, it does collaborate with a network of individual volunteers and affiliated organizations, such as Wikimedia chapters, thematic organizations, user groups and other partners.
