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 like doing my donations on Giving Tuesday.
