No, that could be Asturian (I don't know it, so I cannot confirm that)...
albeit the rest of page is in perfect Spanish, which I do speak natively.
Reading the page in more detail, only the tagline is translated, as well as
a few other words, such as "ye" after "La Fundación Wikimedia", but entire
sections of text are not. 

However, I do believe that the reason could be that the translators were
translating the Spanish page to Asturian, as you suggested. This diff does
suggest that:
http://wikimediafoundation.org/w/index.php?title=Donativos&diff=next&oldid=1
3719. Considering, though, that the translation edit was made only today, I
guess that we can cut them some slack... ;)

Hello,

Yes, it's in spanish, albeit a weird spanish 'Formes de donar' instead 
of 'Formas de donar' and "Imaxina un mundu nel cual cada persona tien 
accesu gratuitu a la suma de too'l conocimientu humanu. Eso ye lo que 
tratamos de facer."

Maybe they are using the Spanish Donation page because it's easier to 
translate from spanish to asturian.
