2021 English fundraising messages in Android app
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

Hi Android 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. I'm getting the task started a little bit later than I'd like; my apologies and please let me know if you have any concerns around execution.

Dates: 30 November - 31 December
Language: English only
Countries: US, CA, GB, IE, AU, NZ

We can carry forward the same designs and functionality from last year (T266289, Android screenshots for reference), but we have some updated copy and new links for you:

If you donate just $2.75, or whatever you can today, Wikipedia could keep thriving for years. Most people donate because Wikipedia is useful. If Wikipedia has given you $2.75 worth of knowledge this year, take a minute to donate. Show the world that access to reliable, neutral information matters to you. Thank you.
