I would find it to be a peculiar request if a project asked my company for
financial resources so that they could attempt to replicate infrastructure
that is already offered to the project in-kind by other organizations.

I support asking commercial users to assist the project and the foundation,
but I think that assistance would be best directed at the core mission of
the project, which is to offer the complete functionality of JTS in C++.
As you pointed out, GEOS has many open bug reports.  Corporate sponsorship,
either in the form of sponsored bug fixes or donated developer time, could
be very beneficial in reducing this.
