I would like to buy some Linux merch, but I don't want to just buy it from some generic supplier -- I would like for all of the proceeds to be used to support open source, or tech related foundations (Linux Foundation, FSF, KDE, GNOME, etc.). I woud also appreciate it if the merch supplier didn't just blindly donate, but sent proceeds intelligently -- where they are needed most, and where they will be put to the greatest amount of work.

That's a lot of work to avoid just donating money tbh, buy the merch for you, donate to support

My interest in purchasing merch isn't in leu of donations; I simply would rather that the profit from the merch sales directly support the projects they are representing.
