You should write to them and ask! I'm sure lots of people will appreciate that, it seems like a worthy cause.

You know what, that's a good idea.
I did send an email just now.
We have the concept of "targeted donations" over at the Apache Software Foundation. I did actually check their about page (https://fund.blender.org/about/) where they mention that 5-8% of the funds go into "making development projects visible and accessible in general" and one part of that is docs.
Hope it works out! :)

They replied:
"We are not considering labeling donations to specific futures."
Aw oh no :(

I'd be willing to vouch for his courses on ArtStation; he was explaining his line of thought well.
My issue with most of paid tutorials is that it's hard to know if it will be worth it - 40 USD is not a lot to most of you I pressume, but I'm a Pole and a student, so that is suddenly a way bigger sum of money.
In fact, If I could make a targeted donation towards Blender that only goes towards funding documentation I'd be up for that as well.
