The Wikimedia Foundation is unlikely to last for 1000 years as an organisation because it doesn't exist within a social / economic system that will last for 1000 years. The US government is already actively plotting against it. Sure, they can try hopping from one country to another, but it won't be sustainable for that long.

It's not even certain if Wikipedia itself can exist for such a long period, given fragility of technological civilisation and data storage.
