After seeing some news about Humble Bundle now accepting charity donations you choose (on the store page only so far) I got to wonder what's the more worthwhile ones [related to universal computer usage and similar projects] and here is what I came up with:
FSF (Free Software Foundation)
EFF (Electronic Frontier Foundation)
Wikimedia Foundation (Wikipedia)

There's maybe more (I hope there is and if so tell me I'll list them) but even at that it's only less than 10% of your purchase price that they get and at that paypal has the option to refuse to pay them(read the fine print), so my point is has anybody ever thought of just buying games on sale(on gog for example) and just donate a similar (or more) of the savings to projects like these or others that are in need of support? I understand not everybody is up for donating money to just anything but with the ability to choose shouldn't we find the projects that really are making life easier and better? (Examples like, the Debian project or Libreoffice or VLC,etc)

This is just me thinking on things, anybody got a similar/worthwhile thought on the matter?

One BUMP for good measure
Wikipedia is an obvious candidate also.

I try to donate 2$ - 3$ monthly to Wikipedia because it helped me during my college days.
I have also donated to VideoLAN for giving me the best media player!

VLC is the best because there are things that others simply can't do.
No offence. :)

Not really. They have more money than they know what to do with. I'm not even sure why they're continuing to fund raise as they have enough money to last them for years without any more contributions.

None taken, however with Kodi/OpenElec i saw no need for anything else in years. And VLC can't play movies without unraring them first :P. Actually nothing else that i know of does.
