If the money is being sent elsewhere, it means they are receiving more than they can manage. That changes the fundraising message. If a friend said please help

If the money is being sent elsewhere, it means they are receiving more than they can manage. That changes the fundraising message. If a friend said please help me with my medical bills, then you later find out a portion of the money was spent on something unrelated, you are either going to give them less money the next time around or nothing.
- ethbr0 4y ago> That changes the fundraising message. And this is exactly the problem everyone has had with Wikipedia's WMF-fundraising messages for years. Any banner that says "This donation is needed for Wikipedia" is objectively false. Wikipedia itself does not need donations. And the WMF isn't even spending 50% of those donations it does receive on Wikipedia.
