The problem is that it's too complicated to get the finance department of a commercial company (where some developer is working for) to donate money to some open source library.
It could perhaps be better facilitated (through npm?) showhow. Commercial companies could register an ID at npm. Then developers at the company could use packages like:
npm install --save-dev $eW91ZGVjb2RlZHRoaXM@babel/core
Npm could provide information on which packages got donations by the company. Developers could share a link to the finance department. The finance department could see which packages are used throughout the company and choose to make some donations. The PR department could make some nice PR how well the company supports open source libraries. Package maintainers could provide informtaion if their package received donations from company $eW91ZGVjb2RlZHRoaXM.
