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.

The one I hate, and I don't do, is when the fire department pulls their trucks into one of our major intersections and then stares while pushing boots at me when I'm stopped at the red light; it feels like extortion.
In Massachusetts they have people from jimmy fund [jimmyfund.org] come around in the movie theaters before the show starts. You are trapped in your seat and they shove a popcorn bucket / collection-plate in front of you and make you say no. The first time that happened to me, shortly after moving there, I simply could not believe it. I thought it was performance art or something. High-pressure guilt tactics feel just as icky as high-pressure sales tactics of any sort. I wouldn't put up with that shit when buying a car, no way in hell am I putting up with it from an organization that claims to be "good." I stopped going to movies shortly after that. There are no solicitors in my home theater.
