So far, I haven't seen much call from individual Emacs developers for
financial support, but individual developers (e.g. of third-party
packages) can always set up their own donations mechanism, rather than
using Kickstarter, which as far as I can tell is just a way to funnel
money to Kickstarter Inc and Amazon (who take a whopping 10% cut from
donations). Their PR campaign sure is impressive, though.
If there is interest in funding anything at the Emacs project level, the
FSF has set up a mechanism for donating to individual GNU packages,
currently used by GNU Octave and GNU Telephony; see
https://my.fsf.org/associate/donate/working-together
But, as I said, I don't currently see much need. (OT: I believe
Octave's maintainer is supported by donations, so I strongly encourage
anyone who uses that software to donate.)
