A relevant group are the institutional sponsors (companies, agencies and so on). To better address the small donations I once started http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Microdonations which is based on ideas from Paolo Cavallini. Recently it has been picked up again. Several OSGeo projects have their own donation page (see above WIki page) but for sure more could be done.
