If there is

Quite! I can certainly see there being people (probably some Wikimedians)
who would be interested in making a donation to help others (certainly
Wikimedians) to get to Wikimania.
Yes, I'd agree with Chris and Sebastian - donating to a scholarship
fund is greatly appealing. I probably won't be able to go this year
(too much travel in a short time...) but I'd be more than happy to put
some of the money I'd have spent towards the scholarship fund, if
Federico says they'll be able to accept such donations.
