It's a pity that the article doesn't suggest who to give money to instead.

The most similar organization I know that probably needs the money is https://archive.org/donate. There were just some bad news about them (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40754229, https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41895764), but it would be a real shame if the Wayback machine stopped working and we lost the internet's history.

Then there's always https://www.eff.org/.

Then there are non-tech organizations to donate to, for example https://www.givedirectly.org/ or a local food bank.
