Agreed that it is a strange mixture of content. So are you thinking 
something like this?

1. Donate page made to be strictly about donations
2. Create new NPO page with the descriptions and links to the recognized
    NPOs. This page is the one linked from the Governance page.
3. List the Funds Group on the governance page as separate link

While looking at that I thought about some additional adjustments:

1. Remove the Core Team Membership section from the Funds Group page
2. Add some words about "how to become a funds group member" to the
    Fundraising Group Membership section
3. Move the list of members and past members of the Funds Group from
    the wiki and to the Funds Group page
4. Move the Funds Group page from "Policy" to "Governance"
5. Split the bottom part (Voting/Process/Requests) of the current
    Funds Group page off, and create a Funds Group Policy page listed
    under "Policy"
