Wikimedia has plenty of whale donors that aren't making spur of the moment donations based on banner ads. Wikimedia spends plenty of money on things that aren't growing their endowment or operating Wikipedia.

Especially if the money is going to things like grants to other nonprofits or developing less-familiar parts of wikimedia that donors likely don't care about.
