A possible way, which don't requires direct financial, It's join the Hurd
to contribute platforms. Currently, Hurd participates in Google Summer of
Code.
But there are more platforms, like Outreachy or other similar, which allows
to pay external contributors for makes a development in Free Software
projects.

This could be more useful than a direct money financial, because It make
easier to pay and manage to the developers in a legal way.
With direct money financial. can be difficult to pay the developer, because
it's necessary to manage taxes, the job agreement it's difficult if the
developer is foreign... etc.
