Hi iOS app colleagues! I'm writing to kick off the annual, lucrative fundraising messages y'all run in the Wikipedia app conterminously with our web Wikipedia end of year push. We've been doing this for a few years but I'm getting the task started a little bit later than I'd like; my apologies and please let me know if there are any concerns about execution on your end.
Dates: 30 November - 31 December
Language: English only
Countries: US, CA, GB, IE, AU, NZ
We'll be able to track clickthroughs and donations on our side. Can y'all confirm that tracking impressions can be done through EventLogging the same as last year?
We can carry forward the same designs and functionality from last year (T266290), but we have some updated copy and new links for you:

Thank you very much. I know there's not a lot of shared work on this, but it is a meaningful way to include highly engaged readers in our donor base; and it holds open the possibility of more and deeper collaboration among our teams in the future. I admire your work. TY
