I've thought about donating manpower; tried to many years ago, in fact.
But I was deterred by the egos, the politics, and the territoriality and
hotheadedness of some of the developers. So, most of my contributions
of code (and I have made quite a few) have been passed quietly through 
committers so as to avoid this. Maybe the situation is better now; I don't
know.

As for monetary donations: We are not a large corporation, and so could only
make relatively small ones as opposed to more valuable "in kind" donations.
