This made me beleive that the money was going directly into core activities like running servers and writing software. Then I read a report on The Register (http://www.theregister.co.uk/2012/12/20/cash_rich_wikipedia_chugging/) that the foundation has tons of money and uses it on a variety of peripheral (arguably frivolous) activities including political lobbying.

This really makes me wonder if I was right to donate.

Can you comment?

There is another ~$3 million from testing prior to the days counted on that fundraising statistics page.

Which is it? Are the numbers on the statistics page not correct or do I miss something here?
