I'm sceptical of organisations and much prefer that companies directly
hire people to work on free software rather than first make x, then
donate a small fraction of x to some organisation who then donate a
fraction of that to the actual people who do the work from which said
company profits. 

I think the historical shift from "free software" to "open source" has
encourage a culture of parasitism in many commercial entities and they
view open source as just a way to get good people without paying
salaries. That's what needs to change.
