2021 Financials

In 2021, the WordPress Foundation and its subsidiary provided support and guidance for a total of 19 WordCamps and hundreds of meetup groups, organized by volunteers in communities all over the world. There were 2 WordCamp events in the US and 17 WordCamp events outside the US. Due to the pandemic, 18 of the total WordCamp events were online events.

In 2016, the WordPress Foundation created a subsidiary, organized as a public benefit corporation (a for-profit entity that voluntarily meets higher standards of transparency, accountability, and performance), to provide a fiscal entity to support organizers of WordPress community events. This B-corp is named WordPress Community Support. We’ll report on both entities’ 2021 financials on this page.

In 2021, 18 of the WordCamps were organized as online events, so consequently, the top expense categories in 2021 were accessibility and virtual production. $36,267 and $69,990, respectively.

WordPress Community Support also supported the publishing of 445 videos in 2021 from WordCamps to WordPress.tv with the help of various production companies who assisted with the online format.

One other item of note is that WPCS, being a corporate entity, does pay tax when there is a net profit at year end. Due to the fact that 2020 resulted in a net loss, WPCS was able to apply the loss to earlier years of income and receive a Federal tax refund of $50,708. These funds were received during 2022.
