No. The biggest value that Wikipedia provides is the content. None of the donations are going to the content creators, very little of them are going to covering IT costs. And a lot of them are used for paying big Bay Area wages to people in the foundation whose work I regard as highly peripheral to the core value provided.

What work do they do that you consider peripheral? I'm asking from a place of ignorance.
