This is a great idea. I've put my money where my mouth is and did my
donation this afternoon. (I have a small mouth, so only small money
too)
I challenge every QGIS user to put in $10 as a way of saying "thank
you" and to help make QGIS a better product. I am proud to and hope
you can be too.
Come on Canada - we can't let those Italians shame us like this! :)

The Quantum GIS project announces the "Sponsor a Developer"
program. This program is intended to fund QGIS development using
donations from the community.
The suggested starting levels for participation in the program are:
Individual: 50 EUR or $65 US
Corporate: 100 EUR or $125 US
Of course you are free to donate at whatever level you like.
The program will be used to employ a part or full time developer to
work on the upcoming release. The focus of the effort will be on
creating a stable release in a timely fashion. Unless you request
anonymity, your sponsorship will be listed on the sponsors web page
and in the QGIS "About" box. Donations are managed by Micro
Resources and at present, all amounts go towards development (there
is no overhead charge).
Full details of the program, including developer(s), support
levels, and activities will be made available on the QGIS website.
If you are a user of QGIS, please consider sponsoring a developer.
To get started, please see the sponsor web page at http://qgis.org/

Our minimum goal for November is 500 EUR or $650 US. Please
consider donating today.
Thanks for supporting QGIS!
