WMF are running a huge fundraising appeal now. We can

$2100 in order to pay for their current hosting arrangements for the
next three months, which should give them sufficient time to get
themselves back on their feet again.
As I've pointed out above, "they" don't even seem to yet exist, and
"they" are certainly not a 501(c)(3) organization.
Right now one of their members, Milton Beychok, is collecting
donations in his personal Paypal account. He's already collected over
$800. That should be more than enough to 1) pay for hosting for a
couple months, 2) set up a non-profit organization, and maybe even 3)
start the process of applying for 501(c)(3) status (which Dr. Sanger
claimed to have started in October 2006).
