Create donation pool ( at Open Source Collective ?! )
Open Collective does have the concept of a "fund" as well, might be able to use that?

That's exactly what we need. Here a link with more information: https://docs.opencollective.com/help/financial-contributors/organizations/funds
It might be much easier to integrate the list of possible donation options directly into OpenClimate.fund instead of integrating it into ClimateTriage.
What would be a good way to present the data to a user? Maybe just as a table?
Here is a summary of some of the discussions we have had so far. @andrew filtered the projects for donation links gist.github.com/andrew/032017247a16d49a8bd904f442221250 We would need to filter these projects for activity, as some of them are no longer active.
If we add sponsor links from the top 3 contributors of active projects, we might end up with about 300 options.
What I'm still not sure about is how to distribute the money from a technical point of view. You can see the variety of donation platforms here: gist.github.com/andrew/4100c9fd9488ef55cf0051f3dff2cad4
We could start with GitHub Sponsors, as I expect to cover most cases of sponsoring the top 3 contributors here. However, we would have to pay fees twice if we collect the donations once and then redistribute them.
Just one very simple way to significantly increase the amount of possible donations options would be to add the Top100 of dependencies within the ecosystem.
As discussed at the last community meeting, we are going to start another very simple funding experiment. To increase the incentive to contribute to OpenSustain.tech, contributors will be able to select an open source project as part of the pull request that will receive funding from a common pool that we will be collecting for. The contributor may not be affiliated with the project that receives the donation. The user workflow would be:
