Lets not forget that in the April 2013 General Conference, President Monson encouraged members to contribute generously to the General Missionary Fund. This could be why you are seeing an increase in General Missionary donations.

"To help maintain this missionary force, and because many of our missionaries come from modest circumstances, we invite you, as you are able, to contribute generously to the General Missionary Fund of the Church."

I would suggest that if there is an need for ward missionary funds that the Bishop let the ward members know, when this happens I have always seen a generous increase in funds. The members just need to know there is a need.
