What do you donate to? (self.asklemmy)

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 can't afford to help anyone besides the people closest to me. And even then it's generally with my time and effort, not fiat currency.

Food banks to. Infrequent food donations no money. Especially after covid as I had made a "pandemic stash" in case I got sick so I didn't get others sick going to the grocery store.
