Does anyone know of a way to distribute donations to multiple open source projects at once? I would like to donate more frequently and broadly but because of the large number of different projects it would be laborious and inefficient to donate small fractions of what I can afford to each of them manually. What would be helpful is a distributor to whom I can say “These are all the people I want want to donate to and here is some money. Please distribute it to them on my behalf.”
Does anything like this already exist?
This looks really cool! Didn’t know anything like it existed
Open collective let’s you do this I think.
Non profits might be good candidates, in particular the software in the public interest is governed by a board elected by open source contributors. From it’s website:
Donations to SPI that are not marked for a particular project will be distributed to the projects that are currently affiliated with SPI as needed, and/or used for SPI’s own expenses.
Definitely Open Collective.
