The one in the sidebar? It says "Donate to Wikipedia" on the English
Wikipedia and currently links to
<http://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Special:Landingcheck?landing_page=WMFJA
085&language=en&utm_source=donate&utm_medium=sidebar&utm_campaign=20101204SB
002>.

It's just a standard sidebar link, really. You can change it to whatever you
want on a per-project basis (or not have a donate link at all). There are
about a million donation landing pages to choose from. One of the dozen or
so fundraising staff can help you out if you get lost. The MediaWiki sidebar
is configured at <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Sidebar>. That
particular link is generally controlled by this message:
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Sitesupport-url>.

Hope that helps,

P.S. Your e-mail client is wrapping lines at rather odd spots, BTW.
