The Perl Foundation has a goal to get more smaller donations, rather than a few large ones and it seems like they've been doing okay lately.
You're probably correct that this could better be summed up later in the year as one single news item. In terms of getting publicity and attracting more donation, announcing and discussing each "small" donation might be better.
This is also true for KDE e.V., where we've evolved from a roughly 50:50 split between corporate and individual donations to now about 75% of the donations (which have overall increased multi-fold) coming from individuals, many of whom are on recurring plans.
I only knew of one company with some kind of techie fandom primarily using Perl before reading this (Fastmail out of Melbourne, Australia). Now I know of two.
Still, two is a small number. And we're probably talking about like 20 Perl developers in total across these two companies (just having looked at their total employee counts).
I've seen many promising and still in use open source languages and projects that barely even get $500 a month in contributions.
Yet these projects have added value in the millions to startups that never give back to these projects because $500-$1000 a month is 'too expensive' for them.
