Wikipedia is the most consulted source of information on almost every topic. Among the top 500 most popular websites, it is one of only two managed by a nonprofit organization.

Any institution or organization which seeks to distribute information to the general public should recognize Wikipedia's place in information distribution and consider the extent to which sharing information through Wikipedia would be useful to advance goals for providing information.

Please see Wikipedia:Meetup/NYC/Partners for a description of partnerships and institutional collaborations between the Wikimedia community and this local chapter in New York.
