We could go further: People complain about uncivilized admins, scaring newcomers away. But the fundraiser doesn't pay for keeping Wikipedia civilized. Perhaps it should, and that could need an annual budget of $60 million rather than $6 million, a staff of 200 rather than 20.
That nothing is done about incivility (unfortunately - I really believe it is chasing some good contributors away), is not because of financial issues, but because nobody really has an idea _what_ to do about it.
