That's not going to be its purpose, or even its secret intended purpose. Current plan is not in fact to give money to the WMF unless and until we're absolutely sure it's clearly allowable under UK charity law if the people we wanted least to know about it were to kick up a fuss.
Oh? So what is the purpose?
See [[m:UK Wikimedia]] and its subpages. It boils down to "stuff that would be really good to do that would further Wikimedia projects" without money actually leaving the UK except in certain very tightly constrained circumstances.
There's actually quite a lot we can do other than send money to Florida for database servers, important though that is at present.
