I don't know what other sites you're referring to, but

Wikipedia is largely supported by individual contributions, according to their fundraising FAQ. Yahoo! donates hosting for the project, but they're soliciting donations for their other costs. They release audited financial statements to maintain fiscal transparency. I don't see the United Nations getting involved there :-)
