I wonder if there could be a matching service. you say your budget and who all you want to support, it lines you up with other supporters so you pay only one recipient, but all your intended targets get something.

I just listened to
Developer Voices: How Lisp is designing Nanotechnology (with Prof. Christian Schafmeister)
Episode webpage: http://www.developervoices.com
I love the concept of choosing common lisp as a "forever language" because things like Python change too fast and code rots.

I am on some Mozilla email list that periodically sends news. I generally skim the mail but do not click anything.
They are now telling me I am scheduled to be removed, with a mail titled "Are you there".
So much for the anti-tracking company.

If I recall correctly from Collapse by Jared Diamond, us humans have screwed this up before, with predictable results.

I remember living through a contentious ecosystem thing at one point. I ended up creating a repo with issues to discuss the contentious points, and just referred all discussion there when it came up.
I think it worked pretty well.
