I noticed that transfer companies usually charge fixed amount for each transaction, so donating $1 can easily incur 30%+ fee.
So I would like to find a rule of thumb to minimize the fees yet cover all projects I like
Any tips?
Wikipedia is a very profitable company. They don't need as many donations as the make it seem.
Their higher-ups all earn exorbitant salaries

Wow that's obscene, especially the steep rise over the years. I'll stop donating to them.
Do you have a source to back this? Not to say I don't believe you but I am legitimately curious
If you're german, i can link you a german video which explains it quite well
Could you still link it? There might be germans interested
I generally do one-time donations to the foss apps I use, based on how much i use them and functionality. Somewhere between 5 and 20 bucks. For services like wikipedia, i just sort of "feel it out"
