What do you donate to? (lemmy.world)

Coming up to Christmas I generally make some small donations. Some of these I ask for as Christmas gifts because I'm old and basically have very basic wants and needs so I'm hard to buy for.

Curious to hear if / what others do.

I've expanded my annual list to include:

Wikipedia
Lemmy.world (my home instance)
Mozilla (I'm not happy with how they spend their money necessarily but I'm very thankful to have Firefox)
Signal messenger
A few Ukrainian things (u24.gov.ua is the official site if this is your thing but there's a great lady on Reddit I give to occasionally too)
The guardian (I read so many articles from there linked on here that I feel like I should and I really appreciate the lack of paywall and easy cookie rejection but never use the site logged in)

I have a list of the OSS apps I use, on Linux, Windows and Android. Some already have some pay mechanism, but I like to donate once a year.

It's like I'm paying for a software license for stuff that I find indispensible, e.g. Syncthing-Fork, Ditto (windows clipboard utility), Advanced Renamer, Linkwarden, etc.
