Wikipedia has just received a $3 million donation from Alfred P. Sloan Foundation. If you haven’t heard of the Sloan Foundation, you can check it out on Wikipedia! 
Wikipedia will receive the donation in three $1 million payments (one per year for 3 years). The money will mainly be used to increase the credibility of the content on Wikipedia via Flagged Revisions. But itt will also be used for some offline promotion including a DVDs and/or books. And something called the “Wikipedia Academy” is also in the pipeline – it’s an initiative to teach targeted groups such as academics and senior citizens how to get involved with Wikipedia.
