What FOSS projects are most in need of funding? I’d like to help if I can.

I’d say that’d be a good one to donate to, and from which most people would benefit from.
damn for real? With how much imagick is used I imagined it had some real backing
GraphenOS Fdroid
Signal KDE Wikipedia Open street mapThe ones you use. If you use KDE, Thunderbird, Gimp or whatnot you should consider donating to those specifically.
