Does the fund exist?
Are there sponsors?
How can one donate some money to D?
We do something even better, you can place bounties on specific
issues that you're willing to pay for:
https://www.bountysource.com/teams/d
If the issue you're looking for isn't raised already, you can
open one in bugzilla (https://issues.dlang.org/, where you can
also vote on issues) and then place a bounty for it on
bountysource. As you can see from the above link, people are
placing bounties and collecting them, though probably not
anywhere near the pace possible. That's probably at least
partly because it's hard to find, with a link from the front
page of the wiki but not the homepage.
Andrei is working on setting up a foundation for another way to
channel funds towards D.
Didn't even know that D is on Bountysource. This info definitely
should be presented in some way on dlang.org. Look at
http://neovim.io/ for example - Bountysource link is presented...
err... unostentatiously, but they really raise some funds with it.
