I don’t know if Jeremy will see this, but:

At my org it’s hard to get justification for donations.

However if this was something like ~100$ a year or whatever per dev, I’d be paying it today for my team.

I remember reading an article about a non-profit discovering a work around for this problem.

They created a subscription plan that had no real value except maybe adding some trivial "feature" like a gold star next to their name (I don't remember the details). This made it possible for the companies to receive a standard invoice that had a greater chance of approval.

Yeah, can't justify donation to corporate, need some reason to pay for stuff.
