More than a code answer, I am asking for pointers. What packages should I look into to get something similar with the image? The hard part (I think) is the stripped background. The digit, then is just placement with white color. (btw, using XeLaTeX)
[Tex/LaTex] Pattern background in table cell or minipage

Since you want to convert to an image file, the problem is one of the converter pdf -> image. TikZ as such does not fill the background (unless you do so explicitly).
If you use ImageMagick, you can use convert -transparent white during the conversion. Other programs may require a transparency channel (perhaps you need to create one based on the color "white" as well).
The problem is caused by the combination of clip=false and ybar stacked: For some reason, this makes the nodes near coords disappear (looks like a bug to me).
You can avoid this problem by placing the paper node first, outside the axis. That way, everything will automatically be drawn on top of the paper background, without any need for using layers:
\documentclass[border=5mm]{standalone}
\usepackage{tikz,pgfplots}
\usepackage{pgfplotstable}
\usetikzlibrary{calc,decorations.pathmorphing}
%Use the new axis label placement features
\pgfplotsset{compat=1.8}
\usepackage{helvet}
\usepackage[eulergreek]{sansmath}
\begin{document}
\pgfdeclarelayer{background}
\pgfsetlayers{background,main}
\pgfplotstableread[col sep=comma]{
category, mass, other
{dollars\\\$3.14m}, 31, 69
{donors\\56\,000}, 21, 79
}\warren
\newcommand{\plotsize}{width=6cm, height=5cm}
\newcommand{\boxsize}{(6,5)}
\newcommand{\boxspot}{(-2,-2)}
\newcommand{\titlepos}{(2.0,-1.5)}
\newcommand{\legendpos}{(0.17, -0.02)} %fraction of plotsize
\pgfplotsset{every axis legend/.append

}
\tikzset{

\node{

};
\begin{axis}[

I just want to point you to the
patternslibrary of tikz. The following code and result could be a starter for you (BTW see here for similar question).It seems it is not possible to change a pattern line width. But one can look into the pgf patterns file (pgflibrarypatterns.code.tex), copy the pattern definition, and change the line width:
and change the code above to use this pattern name (my horizontal lines).
