While we are on the Foundation and legal stuff, can someone tell me whether as a US-based 501(c)(3) organization there is any legal requirement for Wikipedia, as a website, to meet certain minimum accessibility requirements?
None as a result of being a 501(c)(3). (If Wikimedia were a government agency OTOH...)
Never the less, it's obviously desirable to be as accessible as possible: I can't think of any reason why any material accessibility problems wouldn't be given a fairly high priority. Not only is accessibility good on its own merits but accessible development usually supports other things we consider good (such as broad client compatibility and machine readability).
