(to clarify a little further in the context of that small FOSS project: at the moment the paperwork overhead alone related to accepting funds would likely not be worth it, on balance, from a quality of life / bureaucracy perspective; so not only would I not request funding in that setting at the moment, I'd have to decide not to accept it, regardless of absence of any strings/suggestions for project direction attached => so perhaps donating the funds to an established, capable charity that is proving valuable to the wellbeing of others could be a good idea)
