While that is true and it is much more worthwhile to donate to the Internet Archive instead of Wikipedia (many Wikipedia references depend on being archived by IA), I would not want to start a anti-Wikipedia-donations movement. Sure they have plenty of money now and are wasting some of it and are begging for more, but if they would stop receiving any, they can eventually burn through everything they have. And having reserves and a steady inflow are important for planning future projects.

However, at this point, IA needs your donations much much much more than Wikipedia does.

From what I've read (I may be wrong), Wikipedia has enough in its endowment to survive indefinitely. Of course, if all donations suddenly stopped and they kept wasting money on non-Wikipedia stuff, this might no longer hold true, but that's an issue with bad management.
