I like your idea. Lots of people are willing to contribute something but it needs to be easier and (even superficially) give something in return. Core team interviews, roadmaps etc. It's more work but it could pay off.

Not really related but a barrier for me in contributing to something new has been I'm already on recurring donations for a few things and it's easy to lose track. It would be nice if there were a solution to that.

I like privacy.com for things like this and you might also. You link your bank account and then you can set up on-the-fly credit cards with any name/address and arbitrary limits. You can set a maximum credit limit, or monthly recurring limits, or other configurations. It's also great for one time payments for shopping online.

I think they even have a rewards program now.

I highly recommend it if you can get over the uncomfortableness of linking a bank account to it. I just created a separate online account for this purpose.

In this case, I'd just create a separate card for each project you want to support with a monthly limit equal to your desired amount. They have an app and browser plugins and the like. It's really easy.
