Here’s a statment from the Wikimedia Foundation page telling you about their goal to reach US$200,000 for the third quarter 2005 budget:
The third quarter 2005 fund drive is being held from Friday 19 August to Friday 9 September 2005 (2005.08.19 2005.09.09). The primary goal is to raise US$200,000 (Yahoo!

If there is a substantial amount of money collected above income requirements, then the board will decide what to do with those funds.
