If you are interested in donations, there is such

I imagine that it's not possible to make donations to the
foundation that are restricted for the use of advancing a
specific aspect of the language (e.g. tooling).
IANAL, but if you tie a monetary exchange to a specific service,
it's not a donation, but payment for services (to be) rendered.
I don't know if anyone is looking at the state of the ecosystem
from the persepctive of a corporation considering whether or
not to use D for some project.
I would imagine the people at Sociomantic do.
Of course, such a perspective is immaterial if there is little
community interest in corporate adaption of D...
People who work on/with something in their free time for their
own purposes are imho (rightfully) unlikely to care about
catering to third party corporate interests.
