I think individuals, governments... Source: about 1 year ago

> Yet, there doesn't seem to be anyone who actually did any such thing in a few months with 4-5 people. What about https://liberapay.com ? Also, keep in mind that once a well-funded player with infinite money to spend on marketing enters a market it's often no longer worthwhile for a bootstrapped player to compete even if it's possible on technical grounds. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

I don't know what the requirements are, maybe you need to be open source non profit something, but by far the easiest-to-use platform I've seen is https://liberapay.com/ Not affiliated in any way, but I funded K9 mail through this, F-Droid, Matrixdotorg, and presumably more projects in the future.

I love KDE and want to contribute a little bit more financially, but the donations page doesn't have the greatest options for Canadians.

This can be integrated with platforms like https://opencollective.com/ , https://liberapay.com/ or flattr. Source: over 2 years ago
