The concern isn't that they are 'imperfectly spending the funds'. It's that they are at best lying by omission in their fundraising efforts.
No reasonable person who donated in response to a 'help keep wikipedia online' prompt would expect the money to be spent funding 'STEM as a tool for social justice'.
- socialismisok 4y agoIf you rephrase that as, "10% of the donations we receive go to small grants in service of equity and education" I think most reasonable people would say, "oh, ok, I think most big charities do this". WMF passes 10% of it's donations on to small projects and grants. A small number of those are focused on, e.g., racial equity.
