Coming up to Christmas I generally make some small donations. Some of these I ask for as Christmas gifts because I'm old and basically have very basic wants and needs so I'm hard to buy for.

Curious to hear if / what others do.

I've expanded my annual list to include:

Wikipedia
Lemmy.world (my home instance)
Mozilla (I'm not happy with how they spend their money necessarily but I'm very thankful to have Firefox)
Signal messenger
A few Ukrainian things (u24.gov.ua is the official site if this is your thing but there's a great lady on Reddit I give to occasionally too)
The guardian (I read so many articles from there linked on here that I feel like I should and I really appreciate the lack of paywall and easy cookie rejection but never use the site logged in)

I just sat down to do my annual donations, so I've got the list ready to go:

local food bank
local safe injection site
Signal
KDE
OpenMedia (closest thing to EFF in Canada)

A few places I couldn't afford to donate to this year, in case anyone needs more ideas:

archive.org
EFF
miscellaneous software projects I'm using (mostly Steam Deck plugins because I'm in that community a lot)
Gnome

I also give a bit to Tor and The Beaverton monthly.
