Are you looking to do work or give money?

If the former, I recommend having a look at GitHub's open source guide (https://opensource.guide/how-to-contribute/) and then finding a project to start contributing too. The best is something you already use yourself and is in need in help, otherwise, I made a resource that you can use to find a good project to contribute to: https://www.sourcesort.com.

If you're looking to give money, you could try taking a look at OpenCollective[1] or GitHub's new sponsors tool[2].

if you want to learn more about the problems facing open source, Nadia Eghbal's work is pretty good: https://nadiaeghbal.com/research/
