The board passed a resolution redefining the committee system in 2009: http://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Resolution:Wikimedia_Committees. That resolution defined all of the committees in operation at that time, and disbanded those that were no longer needed or inactive. The fundraising committee isn't mentioned specifically, but I'm sure it was no longer operational by that point.

Indeed, the fundraising committee is mentioned in the "staff committees" section:
"Past committees include the Technical Committee and Fundraising Committee, which are not currently active."
This shows that the fundraising was not only disbanded in practice, it was disbanded officially too.
Thanks, I was looking at the list of other disbanded committees at the bottom and trying to figure out if we had just overlooked it, so I'm glad to know we did say it explicitly at the time.
