I've always liked the idea of getting companies to sign up to second staff members for a month or two to full or part time open source work. They could get a nice friendly looking "open source supporter" badge for it, like the Fair Tax Mark. It'd take a small organisation being clever to do it but I think it'd work and free up lots and lots of hours of work to be done on valuable stuff.

  Of course they would. But given the beneficiaries of open source software it would be hard to construe as charity, really. Just a bung to tech companies.
