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.

I was impressed to see at the new keynote that Blender is successfully shifting its revenue growth to small donations. So it can be done.
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.
