That depends , if they took a principled position that, say trans rights groups were censoring notable science re: gender and sexuality and donated to FIRE - an organization that is specifically devoted to maintaining the academy as a place of inquiry, but incidentally opposes social justice missions, that seems like it could be in keeping with Wikipedia's wider mission and legitimate.
However, I'd feel like sponsoring the Ben Shapiro superpac would be obviously over the line - not because they're "conservative" or "against social justice", but because the way in which it opposes "social justice" is not an incidental aspect of protecting freedom of information.
Similarly, funding the pre-2015 ACLU could have a similar argument made - even though they had a liberal bent well before the Harvard amicus brief.
