9 Dollar donation to 0 A.D.
As an avid fan of the -best- historical RTS on Linux I donated 9 dollar to 0 AD. Development is moving very fast and it looks like the donations are spent wisely :).
The Wall building system has been completely redone and its looking great as you can see in this video:

10 Euro donated to the Blender Foundation
The Blender Foundation is the force behind the popular open source 3D graphics software Blender. It is one of the few open-source applications that can compete with its commercial equivalents. Though according to Wikipedia it is still mostly used by hobbyists rather than amateur or professional users.
Why I Donated?
I don't use Blender myself but I really want the project to grow for other people to enjoy it. Blender is one of those flagship open source projects that really make a difference. Artists can use it instead of pirating commercial software or paying massive amounts of money for Maya or 3D Max.
Benefits For Donating
No real perks here but it feels good when you donate to a valuable project :)
What Will My Donation Change?
Revenues from their e-shop and donations will be used to pay 4 developers to work full time on Blender. They use some extra funds to organize events and keep their website up and running.

Donation of 4 dollar to the 0 A.D. project
0 A.D. is an open source RTS game with amazing graphics and pretty advanced gameplay. All art-assets are licensed under CC-BY-SA, which is great imho, and the code itself is licensed under GPLv2. 0 A.D. is under active development by WildFire Games and they issue a new release every 2 months.
Why I Donated?
My primary reason for this initial donation was that they use the CC-BY-SA license for all their artwork, which allows you to share and remix even for commercial use. They also give away everything for free and there is no other accurate historical open source RTS game of this quality.
Benefits For Donating
You get a "Donator" rank on the 0 A.D. forum, you get listed as donator in the game credits and you will be added as donator to the play0ad twitter account.
What will my donation change?
This donation helped fund a month of development in which a couple of new features were added and pathfinding was improved.
How To Donate?
Donating is possible through Paypal and Flattr
