i donated to two -- one to get a sequel written and a republication of a novel i'd read and loved, and another to print a book of photos of beautiful natural hair styles featuring non-conventionally-beautiful white-folks-type hair.
the first was obviously prompted by familiarity, the second by a desire to support broader visions of beauty (and one that's personally meaningful for me, as my own hair is a bit much :)

Link, please! That's one of my interests also. I probably can't afford a donation but I can boost the signal.
Despite my fair skin, I don't have white-girl hair. I have epic large-nap, spiral-curl, comb-breaking hair. And I love pictures of what other people do with unconventionally beautiful hair.
ETA: it is too late to donate anyway, but you will have the chance to see the book in print! and yes, there is at least one blonde in it, and a number of fair-skinned folks.
The first I found out about from the author because I am already a fan of the web serial. I don't particularly want a print book, but I donated because I want to show support for the story. The second I found out about through relinking on friends' blogs, and I put in a few dollars because Lloyd Alexander's books were a big part of my childhood. Even though I'm not a big fan of documentaries, I thought it was an interesting project about someone who had an impact on me as a youth.
I've been talking with ceciliatan about her doing a guest post on my blog regarding her project "Daron's Guitar Chronicles." We're interesting in discussing how audiences are starting to expect a print edition of popular web projects.
