What is the 181M$ mysterious "Project Support" in the graph means? Linux is labeled separately, so it cannot be the "Project".

That's revenue. This article isn't clear at all. Here's their actual tax filing:

https://projects.propublica.org/nonprofits/organizations/460...

More than half the money spent on Conferences and Salaries with the rest being functional expenses. Nothing in the "grants" or "benefits to members" column. Prima facie this would not be an organization I would ever donate to.

Which is good because most of their revenue comes from fees and services rendered.

The $181M is in the Expenses categories chart, not revenue.
You aren’t supposed to donate to them!
