Does Wikipedia really need my donations? (infosec.pub)

Every now and then I'll get an email from someone higher up in Wikipedia asking for a donation. I don't really mind a tenner but I don't know if it pads the pockets of corporate management or actual contributors. Also, are they really short of money or is this tugging at emotional strings a play at something else? I wish Wikipedia survives but there's a lot of projects I need to donate to and I have a budget.

Happy to help! The fandom pages are absolute garbage, breezewiki really is a godsend.

I found out about it on here: https://libredirect.github.io/, I'm not sure how up to date it is, but there are definitely some other useful links to explore
