My budget is very limited, but I make regular donations to a few worthy efforts, including Daily Kos. $20/month.

As a monthly donor, you are one of our most impactful and generous supporters. Your $5.00 monthly gift helps us plan for the future of Wikipedia and make sure free knowledge reaches far and wide to millions of readers. For this we are truly grateful.
We know it can be hard to picture the impact of your support, but you're part of a community that helps Wikipedia improve every day for readers everywhere.

Maybe it’s just me, YMMV, here’s a poll for you:
