I'm having a really hard time donating to wikipedia now that I've learned they are actually doing pretty well and don't need donations as urgently as their invasive banners say.

Now, of course their main revenue stream is donations (not only, I don't have the numbers but they sell commercial access to big tech through a for-profit company, Wikimedia Enterprise). But the whole guilt tripping strategy they've been using for a decade without actually needing it is disgusting.

I strongly recommend watching this 10min, sourced video on the topic from fern.

I'd rather donate to non profits that actually need it and yet don't resort to these emotionally manipulating campaigns.
