What's meaningful in this sense? I have a budget for supporting open source projects (back to my money v time point) and a percentage of that is for the PHP Foundation. I'd happily pay LTS fees we pay elsewhere (even sometimes as a safety net) to the Foundation but believe that the money we give to projects is just that, a donation that the project can use as it sees fit, rather than the purchasing of a service as we do commercially.
