I like your thinking.
> I'm unable to I still find ways to get some kind of funding to them, be it from purchasing a t-shirt from their online store....or stickers....and most recently a USB hard drive with the distro on it.
That is a common issue but there are projects that are successfully raising money by utilizing platforms that make it really easy. Some examples:
* webpack on Open Collective - https://opencollective.com/webpack
* D3.js on Sticker Mule Market - https://www.stickermule.com/user/1070696243/stickers
* Vue.sj on Patreon - https://www.patreon.com/evanyou
* DevDocs on Gratipay - https://gratipay.com/devdocs/
* KDE Project on Unixstickers - http://www.unixstickers.com/donations/2017/3
The list goes on. We hope to come up with new ways at $ustain. After the event, I will most likely do a follow up here.
