How would you feel something like Help Jar (https://helpjar.org) fits into this space.

It's a platform I've created where you can allocate anywhere from 0.1 - 5% of revenue to causes you believe in. Right now it's geared towards charities but I'd love to include open source sponsorship in there too.

I like the idea, and kudos for keeping your costs at 1%.

Putting on my company hat, and I'm no expert, I believe for this to work in Denmark (where I live), you would need to be able to put some form of goodwill on the balance sheet. Companies still need to pay tax on donations (at a reduced rate up to ~2300€/year for recognized charities).

Unfortunately, 0.5% of the Danish workforce is directly employed by the tax office. It's a serious threat over here.
