What projects does the community like to donate to?
In the past, I've donated to EFF, Mint, Wikipedia (though this is controversial), Project Gutenburg and the Internet Archive. I just stumbled on torservers.net where you can fund Tor exit nodes. I guess GPG would also be a good candidate — the maintainer, Werner Koch's struggle for funding has been discussed here on SN before.
Do you guys have any other recommendations? Bounty Source looks interesting.

I don't donate enough. EFF most years.
If you ex-out tithing (which doesn't really count as charity in my book any more than club membership dues) the average American gives 1% of income, skewing higher at both ends of the income continuum.

Same here. I'm guilty of donating to causes at the front of my mind, like the Haiku project and code.org, and ignoring some really important ones like the aforementioned EFF. And that reminds me, I really need to get around to buying Slackware 14.1 discs. Years ago I would only buy major versions (9.0, 10.0 etc) but lately I feel led to buy each point release as well, to keep the project going. Slackware is important now more than ever with the dwindling number of actual GNU/Linux distros.
