For me I used to donate to Mozilla about £10 a month but have since stopped.

    KDE is one of the few I always have in my list. No matter the OS I use, I always end up using KDE and highly prefer it over anything else I’ve tried. So it’s my way to contribute to not hate the time spent at my computer in the near future.

    Local food bank is a good one around where I am located

    Edit: didn’t notice the community

    Privacy wise I donated to Signal for a bit. Hope to donate to more things eventually

    Not entirely privacy related but: The Electronic Frontier Foundation, Wikipedia, Doctors Without Borders, The National Park Service, RAINN, and Red Cross

    There’s a bunch of other little ones through Humble Bundle, but there are too many to remember.

    OpenStreetMap and Internet Archive because they are operating with a small budget (as opposed to Wikipedia).

    EFF, Signal, Wikimedia, and ACLU.

    IRL, local foodbanks, MSF, school, and environmental causes. My wife and in-laws, we pretty much just gift each other donations to charities we each like for holidays and birthdays. Other than an odd book here and there, none of us want more stuff to clutter and toss into landfills.

    So far our oldest kid is heading the same way. Lectured us when our 20-yo fridge leaked and we had to get a new one. Asked why we couldn’t just fix it and keep using it :-)

      Because a 20 year old fridge is much less efficient than a modern one. A fridge with A+++ rating is now a B or so in Europe. Get a new fridge. It’s better for the environment.

        We did. Made sure it had a good EnergyStar rating. Not putting major appliance purchase decisions in the hands of a kid :-)

    Donated $20 to GrapheneOS when I first installed it. $5/mo to Signal. Local charities in my hometown.

    Technically neither of these are donations, but:

    I subscribe to Firefox VPN, and don’t actually even use it, just because I want to support them in a way where money could possibly towards FF dev and not just the Mozilla foundation (which can’t fun Mozilla corp work AFAIK).

    I also have a supporter subscription at https://neocities.org because I support his ideals. Plus I get dirt cheap, easy to use static hosting out of the deal.

    Edit: Oh, I guess humble bundle purchases might count, I do at least slide the sliders to make sure the charities get most of the money.

    The Internet Archive. EFF. Wikimedia. My local Fediverse instance. Pretty much every F/OSS software project I use more than once a day at least once a year that happens to accept funding.

    I donate to the EFF, and you should too!

    Edit: I also donate through an app called Share the Meal, which provides meals to impoverished areas. You can choose where your donation goes.
