So they bought one mansion with donated money legally and then had a private birthday party in it? I'm guessing it wasn't your money they used lol.
If the IRS finds that wasn't proper, by all means, go after them, like any tax cheat.
That doesn't invalidate the cause. Otherwise, you'd have to claim the same about preventing kids cancer, after the Trumps used that donated money for their private funds.
Been working in IT since 1997. Imposter syndrome sucks.
That being said, contributing to FOSS can be as little as helping others in a Linux forum, validating bug reports, etc before you file your first pull request š
I read about this hobby project yesterday and thought it was very inspiring.
This guy wrote a scraper that compares the prices of groceries and it made a big political splash too.

Personally, I also wanted to try some new tech, and created my first android app for my daughter to practice her basic math operations many years ago.
Another option for you would be to find a FOSS project you like and contribute there (fediverse? Hint, hint).
That 5% would be great, if WF wasn't like 50% more expensive LOL
