FreeCAD
Definitely Blender
Easily the surface-linux kernel project, that level of dedication is incredible and without I wouldn't have my favorite laptop running linux right now.
And probably all of KDE's various developers if possible, since I both love the actual desktop environment and all the various tools they provide (like Elisa, Kdenlive, and KDE Connect).
Waterfox, CalyxOS, Signal, the JPEG-XL team, GNOME
Just FYI, Signal (Open Whisper Systems) is not FOSS-friendly. The server-side software is not open source, they refuse to federate with other Signal implementations, and they are unfriendly to forks. See:
I recommend using Molly instead if you need to communicate with Signal users. Note, the Molly-FOSS flavor excludes proprietary Google libraries entirely.
If you are interested in trying an alternative that is unrelated to Signal, I suggest looking at SimpleX Chat.
FreeBSD
They would be the ones I've been using for long: Inkscape GIMP xcfe gnome Mx linux Libreoffice Handbrake Rawtherapee Krita Easytag VLC Rhythmbox
There are more. I just donate some bucks now and then but I would like to help them all with more.
I'd donate it to one or more open source projects that make the most positive impact in society
NetBSD
AROS
GIMP for sure.
