Also just to put my money where my mouth is, I've donated to both of these just now. Nothing crazy or generous -- only $50/€50, but every little bit counts.

How do you know I actually donated? Well Krita emailed me a donation # but I'm not sure if that's persionally identifying or not, but if you really care email me and I'll share that with you, or screenshots of my paypal statement bill or something.

Oh also totally overlooked (can't edit now) Inkscape, which I personally know I've used in the last year, same amount:

For those who don't have money to spare, donating time or speaking well of these programs and increasing their adoption are just fine as contributions (at least I think so, maybe others might disagree).

[EDIT] - If you don't have money but you have time and expertise to contribute a translation/pull request/etc that's actually worth even more than the money you could give and it would pay off repeatedly, forever. I've actually done the bare minimum by giving money since I know contributing a code fix or feature implementation/etc would be way more valuable.
