Do you just donate to places without looking into their finances and how they spend their money? It's not like wikipedia hides it. It's right on their website: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation#Finances

I tend to only donate to places that seem to spend the money well and efficiently, for example.

Not OP, but probably a lot of people had faith that if the foundation behind Wikipedia says they need money to keep the servers online, they just believed them without trying to find details behind a "Beware of the Leopard" sign. It'd be similar to if a trusted family member said they needed some help.

But guess what, maybe their faith that this organization is misplaced.

I'd say most people do, yes. Especially when it's something like $10.
