I've tried that in the past and had a hard time doing so. I managed to get the company to sponsor projects like sidekiq because there were some benefits in doing so (even if we actually never used the enterprise benefits) but I haven't been able to convince them to donate any money. They'd just tell me that they don't see any benefits in doing so. I end up donating with my own money to opensource projects I value but I don't have enough money to properly fund all projects I would like.
