I've been donating to the Wikimedia foundation regularly since 2016 since I believe it's a resource everyone should have access to.
The Wikipedia is not perfect but, for several topics, it's a great starting point or recap. I've used it for science related queries and, even if the style is not uniform and some entries are hard to read, it is an amazingly useful project which doesn't get old (and the phone app is fantastic)
