Thanks, good to know! This year's will be my last donation to Wikipedia.

Realized the same thing about a year ago about SPLC (splc.org). Once I realized how much cash they have I saw that my contributions would have more effect elsewhere. I like what splc does: help discriminate which groups are hate groups and which aren't, among others. But they simply don't need any more money IMO.

It's my understanding that by donating a small, but recurring amount such as $1/month, you are still helping organizations like SPLC or PP by adding to the numbers of their contributing supporters. That seems like a good alternative to cutting off support, which would free up the money for a more cash-strapped cause.
