What FOSS projects are most in need of funding? I'd like to help if I can.
I'm also looking for projects only related to FOSS, or "in-the-spirit" of FOSS.

Also, if you like your instance and they accept donations, that too. Reminder that hosting a website costs money every month and since most instances don't have ads (and probably aren't selling your data), they operate at a loss to provide services for free.
If you like your instance, you can keep it.
Proton, the Swiss based, privacy focused VPN and cloud services provider does a $10 raffle for a lifetime accounts with all proceeds and a match up to $150k to a list of ten privacy/foss focused charities & organizations. Proton isnβt itself a non profit in need of funding per say but they do good work and itβs an easy way to put a small amount towards some worthy cause, and possibly win a decent product in the process. Wont post links to avoid looking like a shill, but the list on their page for the raffle might also be a good place to look if youβre wanting to donate to something directly.

Maybe the real commits were the Jongs they merged along the way...
