Ko-fi

Still, if you're going to go this route, my recommendation to you would be to set up a Ko-fi account: https://ko-fi.com/ and share that with your party. Tell them that you love playing with them and appreciate everything they do, and say that while you miss sharing pizza with them, if they want to kick you a few bucks here and there to support your work you're putting towards the campaign, to feel free. I would set a hard dollar limit on what they're allowed to contribute so there's not some weird sense between them of 'If I donate only 5 bucks, is that insulting? What's the right amount?', and go from there.

GIMP

Here's the thing: you can do all this for free. You can use discord + bots, owlbear rodeo, dysonlogos, google, notion, obsidian, reddit, etc. Or at least, that's what our group does. I made a google site (it's not just for docs?) where we keep all our npcs, locations, items and plot details so we group source our notes. If you're a stickler for official maps and you own the product then import it to the vtt from your phone. I've actually gimp.org for a vtt and it's layers as the initiative tracker in the past.
