Donation strategy: how do you allocate your donations? (i.imgflip.com)

I noticed that transfer companies usually charge fixed amount for each transaction, so donating $1 can easily incur 30%+ fee.
So I would like to find a rule of thumb to minimize the fees yet cover all projects I like

Any tips?

Wikipedia is a very profitable company. They don't need as many donations as the make it seem.

Do you have a source to back this? Not to say I don't believe you but I am legitimately curious

If you're german, i can link you a german video which explains it quite well
