The staging.osgeo.org website is close to ready, one thing we have not
added yet is a "donate" button from our original Drupal website.
Ideally we would like donations to have a chance to specify what they are
for in the PayPal comment field (for example "map server", "travel grant",
etc...). See example instructions
[https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Java_2017_Code_Sprint#How_to_Sponsor here].
The give-up.com word press plugin came recommended.

Comment (by wildintellect):
I would prefer an html widget, over a plugin for maintainability. I also
can't easily find the plugin suggested, please provide a link to the
documentation for it.
It may be possible on the Paypal side to customize the form to make it
easy for donors pick from a list the intended use of the donation. Though
I think a disclaimer needs to be in place, unless the board has specified
that paypal donations will always go to exactly what a donor specifies.

Ha ha - auto correct messed up my link.
The cone that was recommended to me was https://givewp.com/ (it provides a
nice email receipt and so on for tax purposes depending on our 501
status).

As for donations, we do an annual call out for sponsors listing
activities, projects and events that can be sponsored explicitly - see
http://www.osgeo.org/sponsorship for "OSGeo 2017 Sponsorship
Opportunities"

I will try and get a list of activities, projects and events out of
tomorrows board meeting.
Informally:
- any project that has a [https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/OSGeo_Budget_2018
budget request] should also be listed as a "donate" option
- travel grant program
- bonn code sprint
- while we are not donating to committees, if a committee has an
initiative that can be supported financially we can list it
Foss4g global and regional events are all running their own sponsorship
programs.
