What caught my eye there was that they donated the $70,000 to Wikimedia foundation. I checked their financial report (https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/foundation/6/68/Jul-D...) and the top five costs are:

  Salaries and Wages 7,468,743
  Outside Contract Services 1,791,275
  Internet Hosting 1,309,591 
  Other Operating Expenses 1,010,273
  Bank Fees 945,190

That is not the cost structure I expected. I thought the balance would be more on Internet Hosting. What are those ~10 million of salaries, contracts and other operating expenses? Besides, their expenses were 15 million and income 30 million, do they need more money?
