What about a php.net/donate page? GitHub=E2=80=99s funding file works =
with custom URLs.

So one solution could be a donate page where organisations can submit =
their links
and possible a description. Something like /conferences and the =
user-groups.

The page wouldn=E2=80=99t need any forms or anything, a PR directly to =
the page could work.

Thoughts?

Thank you,
Kim.
