It's a difficult question. I'm in favour in general, and I think it's a good idea to support projects that we use and need the money. The problem I have with it (and that is absent in your points above) is in how far we have the "moral right" to spend the money donors gave us on other projects.
In the case of CC, OSM or Freenode, we prevail upon these organisations' resources considerably; it's akin to outsourcing infrastructure. We use their stuff to a degree that I think it's an obviously right thing, and defensible as such, to support them financially.
