While I am not a RH employee, I have been deeply involved in FOSS, including Debian and Fedora, for many years. The best I can suggest is: build that funding source, and get it to grow to an important size _without_ messing with RH as a sponsor. The cost of running Fedora is likely to be huge. Fundraising is incredibly hard, and generally fails. So I suggest you try fundraising under a name or org of your choosing with like-minded folks. If you succeed you'll be able to fund Fedora development, and it will evolve organically. This is important. Grow it organically, "show how it's done, doing it and succeeding". Don't waste everyone's time trying to change how Fedora runs today, because it _works_ and you just cannot tear down something that works every time a random person claims to have a better idea. If the random person has a better idea, better be able to show how it works to gain some standing. > I as a donor donating $20 would like those to run to $20?
