I reviewed this one.
I can only see a single fund that might be relevant - Microsoft
FOSS. (Please correct me if I missed something)

However, Microsoft FOSS is not application-based - Microsoft employees
choose. They also link to a couple of funds from other companies that
work in similar ways.

I guess that it is technically possible to participate if we somehow
spread the word to relevant company employees that Emacs could make use of
such a fund. Here is a list of links with several companies running
FOSS funds based on employee selection:
- https://github.com/microsoft/foss-fund
- https://engineering.salesforce.com/announcing-the-first-foss-contributor-fund-recipient-60a295201497/
- https://fossfunders.com/ (this one looks promising, but also
  suspicious - not much info on their website, no rules, just "contact
  us privately")
