Software in the Public Interest funds at least 45 open source projects.
Distros include Arch, Debian, and Gentoo.  Other projects include
FFmpeg, LibreOffice, OpenSSL, and PostgreSQL.  (And those are just the
highlights!)

You can donate to SPI in general or designate your funds for a specific
project from their list.

They have a physical address in New York City to which you can mail
donations or you can pay on-line in a number of different ways.  Your
choice.

It seems like SPI already does what you're suggesting.
