I'm sorry to break it to you, but Neovim isn't the best project to donate to. The lead maintainer supports numerous far right figures and recently went ballistic in the issue tracker when someone merely suggested removing a quote of endorsement on the Neovim website from someone who literally compared brown people to wolves that should be shot for the protection of the "human" population.

There was no pushback for the toxic behavior from his fellow maintainers, as the team includes both a speaker at a conference hosted by the person the lead maintainer so vehemently defended, and a Palantir employee who proudly displays their employer on their GitHub profile.

FOSS donations are awesome, but maybe not Neovim. I think Vim is a better choice for donations. All of the money goes to helping children in Uganda.
