What FOSS projects are most in need of funding? I'd like to help if I can.

I'm also looking for projects only related to FOSS, or "in-the-spirit" of FOSS.

@comma@midwest.social This is an extremely thorough answer directly to your question. It even has the same xkcd comic in the conclusion!

My opinion: We really need to be supporting this stuff with tax money. Meantime give money to orgs that advocate for related causes to benefit all or distribute grants. EFF, FSF, Right 2 Repair, public and specialty libraries.
