This can make contributions really easy. Just made a small donation to "html-webpack-plugin" 😇, which I didn't even specifically know this dependency, or whether they had a Open Collective account and how much they raised or need.. :)

😍@opencollect knows how to do this!

@DemocracyEarth @piamancini A very good read! Especially interested in this part: ".. the idea that one billion dollars could be a budget that is executed by young people around the world .. executing this budget for humanitarian projects." Sounds like a great initiative, when can we learn more about this?
