I would have to see a pretty good explanation for why it takes $376.000 a year to run a server before donating. Is there a “this is how your money is spent”-page somewhere? Should be.

I’ve seen a “budget” posted a few times that I think hasn’t been updated in years, but never an actual accounting of how the donations are actually spent. FR is not a “charity” so I guess they really don’t have to account for it, but I agree with you, I’m not going to “donate” to any organization that doesn’t give its donators a yearly full and accurate accounting of where and how the money is spent.

My nephew BTW recently bought a very nice powerful commercial, e-commerce grade, used but relatively recent server from e-bay for only a couple hundred bucks. There seems to be a lot of overhead in this operation and I don’t think it’s too much for donors and potential donors to ask for some accounting.
