Monetary donations are only one way of helping a site like Wikipedia. Another valuable (even critical) form of help is editing, voting, and otherwise participating on the site.

I've donated a ton of my time to improving Wikipedia, so don't feel the least bit of guilt about not giving them money. If anything, they should be paying me!

People like you that spend substantial time editing perhaps should feel no guilt about not giving them money. People like me who read extensively but only very occasionally make small additions should probably at think about a donation when funds are available.
