The FreeBSD Foundation is probably the organization which is
best equipped to do this:

http://www.freebsdfoundation.org/

The FreeBSD Foundation is registered as a 501(c) non-profit 
organization (for non-U.S. people, 501(c) is a section of the U.S.
tax code which designates an organization as non-profit, which 
gives some tax benefits).  They seem to be best equipped to receive
donations, and fund specific FreeBSD work.  These contributions would be 
tax-deductible, which is one incentive to donate.
