True, but would you agree that the number of editors who take umbrage with the wording is a small minority of the tens of thousands who edit and thousands (hundreds?) who are aware of the fundraising messages?

It is worth noting that three of the six community-and-affiliate candidates currently standing for the Wikimedia Foundation board support the following statement:
"WMF fundraising is deceptive: it creates a false appearance that the WMF is short of money while it is in fact richer than ever"
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation_electio...
(Two candidates "supported" the statement; one "strongly supported" it. A fourth opposed the statement, but added: "I do feel that the online campaign can be improved. See videos for more." In the videos, she said: "The one thing that I think we can improve is our on-wiki campaign. It is sometimes too aggressive to my taste.")
