Let me clarify so I don't sound like a total dick.
I donate to a lot of projects - usually $50 or $100 US. For example, my most recent donations (in the last two or three months) were to Tortoise Subversion and Thomas Hruska of Shining Light Productions (Windows OpenSSL installers). Both were through PayPal and were executed flawlessly. When I donated to Julian Assange's defense fund, I had to jump through a lot of hoops because of using non-mainstream payment processors. The overseas processor meant my card issuer blocked the transaction due to fraud alerts, and I had to call to approve the transaction. I went the extra mile because of all the problems the US and its financial institutions caused in the process (which were no fault of Assange's). Then there's Eclipse, which wants you to join their organization to make a non-anonymous donation. No shit - they wanted me to fill out an application. Obviously, they did not get any money because I will only go so far when trying to give money away.
