Add a donate button to GitHub repositories

[choldgraf]

What do folks think about adding a .github/FUNDING.yml file to the Jupyter GitHub organizations so that a "sponsor" button shows up?

We could point the sponsor button to: https://numfocus.org/donate-to-jupyter

Good call. https://jupyter.org/about points to https://numfocus.salsalabs.org/donate-to-jupyter/index.html https://numfocus.org/donate-to-jupyter lists $3.18 in fees on a $100 donation, and $15.09 in fees on a $500 donation. AFAIU, there are a number of ways that 501c3 nonprofit organizations like NumFOCUS can accept donations with lower or zero fees. The txn fee to transfer hundreds of millions of USD as e.g. XRP / BTC only costs < $0.01 / $0.50-$3.00, for example. FWIU, for nonprofits, a number of cryptocurrency payments services offer processing fees of <= 1% (on top of the practically flat tx fee) to accept donations and donor contact information and generate invoices for tax-deductible donations. PayPal is like 2.2% + $0.30. Is there additional information for this thread that we can forward to NumFOCUS in regards to minimizing fees for donations to 501c3 organizations?
