  I personally donate to Lets Encrypt once a year. The trouble with donations at my company, however, is that 'gifting' money is a lot more complicated than buying something. For instance, we are supporters of Vim, but we couldn't make a direct donation to the project. Our corporate policies on this makes things a little stiff as any donation like this is seen as potential publicity. so we couldn't move forward on that. However, we do often buy things for corporate events from Amazon, so we could use the affiliate link to buy our stuff and still contribute to the project. There was another instance, i can't remember what the project is as I didn't deal with it directly, where you could donate directly or buy 'swag' (like T-shirts, cups etc). I remember one of the teams that wanted to contribute funds managed to expense it as swag for their department so everyone got hats, t-shirts, pens, coffee cups etc. because again, can't directly donate. And of course, sponsorship is usually out of the question, because they don't want to be known as supporting one specific thing or another. Sometimes its just easier to make a 'sale' than it is to get a donation from huge users of your product.
