Why bother? FOSS is a charitable gift to humanity. Appreciate the givers, and give what you can too. If you have money and not time/skill to give, then you can give your money to any charitable cause that needs it (FOSS, or any other cause). If you satisfy one need, then someone else can satisfy another. There's no need to distibute your gift in a complicated way.
Example: Bram Moolenaar (ViM) asks users to :help uganda, not to pay him. And I speculate that he wouldn't be offended if you donated to help someone else in need instead.
