Are there any ways to contribute to FOSS developers other than paying? I would really like to help/contribute but unfortunately have no regular income so no way to do so monetarily.

All the answers given are already pretty good!

But I would like to add: take part in the community, discuss with other users, make it lives and show appreciations for the contributors (and maintainers) work. They're human, appreciation and kind words are an universal currency :)

Definitely this!

There was a random person who upvotes the merges I've made over the past year. And that high that some stranger on the internet found my project to be helpful helped me code through the dark times.
