Is most of the funding coming from redhat? Is there a way to donate? :)

Taking money gets complicated for a number of reasons, so we avoid that. Red Hat has donated hardware, and employs some members of the CentOS board to work on the distribution full time.
Instead what we prefer is sponsorship of a mirror, or for events like the CentOS Dojos (donating a location, catering lunch or a speaker dinner, or an event give-away like a shirt). Does that help answer your question?
