Wikimédia Magyarország is a nonprofit organization that supports the gathering, organizing, and dissemination of human knowledge, with a focus on providing the widest possible access to this knowledge. As an official local affiliate of the Wikimedia Foundation, their activities primarily revolve around assisting Wikipedia and its related projects. However, they are independent of these projects and do not participate in their content creation or exercise supervision over them.

The Wikimedia Foundation, based in San Francisco, is also a nonprofit organization that maintains and develops open-content, wiki-based projects. They operate the servers for projects like Wikipedia and contribute to the development of the wiki software used on these platforms. Their goal is to ensure that free knowledge is accessible to people worldwide, and they fund their activities through donations and grants.

Thanks to the collective effort of thousands of volunteers, the Wikimedia Foundation operates various independent projects, including several in the Hungarian language. These projects, such as Wikipédia, Wikiszótár, and Wikiforrás, provide freely available and modifiable information for anyone to use. The transparency and openness of the system allows anyone to contribute to these projects, further expanding and enriching the pool of knowledge available to all.
