As I understand hosting is possible for a quick solution but please give me some time to think about how to get involved deeply with the community. Thanks for your understanding. And ... Happy Hacking !... :)

Money is easy to keep for when it is needed. It gets spent on various things such as hardware replacements (e.g. SSDs), hosting fees, Guix events, etc. There are at least two places you can donate money two: 1. Free Software Foundation (FSF): https://my.fsf.org/civicrm/contribute/transact?reset=1&id=50 2. Guix Europe http://foundation.guix.info/ I'm actually not sure how donating to Guix Europe works (I know you can become a member for a small fee), but you could ask for the bank account number and wire the funds there. I'd use the one closest to you geographically, as the processing costs (e.g. the cost of a wire transfer) should be lower. The FSF does take a 10% cut on any new deposit, but I that's fair since they provide the Guix project with valuable services such as the Savannah hosting and Debbugs service, mailing lists, etc. (on top of their excellent mission to spread the word and defend free software).
