Three difficult choices, to be sure.
Non-profits, especially small ones, are always in desperate need of in-kind assistance (volunteers) almost more than ready cash. I've given time to non-profits for a number of years, doing everything from grunt work to serving as an officer or board of directors member.
I think the best way I personally can help out Open Source projects is to talk them up in any way I can. Use them, blog about them, give presentations on them -- and provide appropriate feedback. I can code, but not like the wizards who do this stuff every day. I'm damned good at requirements, however, from a long IT career.
Occupy Wall Street is harbinger of the future, the beginning of American Spring. My best possible support for them is through words and actions... and a little political fiction B^).
The main players in party politics have grown useless. Contributions to either party are a waste of both time and money -- IMHO.
