<div>The '''Grand Donors''' are individuals who contribute more than $1,000 of their own money to the Wikimedia Foundation. The [http://wikipediareview.com/index.php?s=&showtopic=13429&view=findpost&p=56202 2007 fund drive] to monetize the 2008 budget includes allocations of:<br />
* $182,000 for Mike Godwin and the Foundation's legal hassles; <br />
* $201,000 to help all of the Board members with their travel to the new headquarters in the very expensive city of [[Directory:San Francisco|San Francisco]];<br />
* $509,000 for Sue Gardner and her executive office staff; and,<br />
* $699,000 for overall finance and administration. <br />
<br />
The foundation hosts websites for projects like Wikipedia. The cost for hardware and bandwith for hosting these websites - and that is the primary mission of this charity - exceeds '''''sixty percent''''' of the budget.<br />
