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.

    It changes every time. Usually I got bundle 14 last week and I'm pretty sure EFF was on that one. I don't hold back my purchase because they swap in the water charity or childs play on occasion or because I can't get a tax write-off.

    It used to be just EFF and Child's Play exclusively in the beginning, and a handful of bundles over 2 years, but now there's one every week or so and a more diverse group of charities:

    I think I lost interest when it went from 5 bundles a year to 50.

      Yup. I like the indie ones, this last week being indie bundle 14. I like the bundles that resemble their original vision.

      Now they have a lot of bundles I don't care about. I pass on anything that has a big name in it like Square or EA. I don't like how many of the bundles now have Windows only titles. Don't care about their book or weekly bundles and I never buy from the always available store.
