It works well for supporting artists. I support many people with 
it.

However, if you're thinking of an application for the D 
foundation, I don't know if that's the right avenue. It would 
certainly work, but Patreon is more built for people who release 
discrete pieces of content, not necessarily charities who have 
less concrete results.

Pippin from GIMP uses it pretty successfully for general work 
mostly related to GIMP https://www.patreon.com/pippin

I support someone who is a pure intellectual now, and can no 
longer survive in the university system, with his radical ideas 
of economics. He provides various content at different 
subscription points.   What do you have in mind?

I've used it some as a patron, and it's worked fine, but any address that
I've used with patreon has gotten a _ton_ of spam as a result, which makes
me a lot less inclined to do anything with them.
