I try to support all the open source projects I regularly use with small but recurring (ie predictable) amounts. Liberapay is great for this, but not everybody is on it yet unfortunately.
Some of the projects:
Arch - no easy way for recurring donations but every time the aur has gone down when I needed it during the recent attacks on archlinux.org I just go throw a financially unwise amount of money at them again to spite the attackers
KDE - I don’t even use plasma anymore (switched to hyprland but I’ve heard enough of the controversies that I’m not donating to them lol) but I still love KDE
codeberg - they host a lot of my projects so at the least I wanna cover what I cost them plus a bit
matrix.org and my matrix server specifically - both put out great services for free and my homeserver specifically hosts the absolute fuckton of pictures and videos I regularly send/receive so I owe them a lot
piefed - piefed is sick as fuck and @rimu does a good job
lemmy.zip/piefed.zip - great homeserver and extremely transparent
voyager - my fav piefed app so far, and hopefully with more donations it’ll get even better
probably more I’m forgetting rn
I’m not sure this last one counts as an NPO but it’s relevant here so I’m including it anyway: @dual_sport_dork@lemmy.world puts out the best OC I’ve come across on lemmy so sometimes I throw money his way to help pay for knives lmao.
For anyone else who wants to support the projects they use and keep the internet free, definitely check out liberapay. It’s still a bit clunky, but it lets me budget a monthly amount I can afford and then split it however I want among all the projects I use no matter what that overall amount is. Smaller donations can be paid in lump sums for many months to cut down on processing fees, and liberapay tracks it for you and more importantly lets the recipient know what the giving schedule is so the project/person you support can have a clear budget rather than unpredictable bursts of money with no guarantee there’ll ever be more coming.
If it’s not clear yet I’m super passionate about liberapay and also donate to them 😂
