The GDAL project does a great job with its project sponsorship program:
http://www.gdal.org/sponsorship.html
It's more general though; the PSC decides where to allocate the funds.
The OSGeo project sponsorship program does have an "earmark" option
though:

Management through OSGeo is a strong benefit to this kind of program.

For those that can't contribute from a coding sense, either due to time
constraints or not having the abilities, we should have a mechanism for
financial contribution to that particular feature. If we get enough
people
to contribute to, say, having WebStudio becoming fully featured, then it
would make a lot more sense for developers with the abilities to put it
into
their project schedules. I know that I, as a small company, would be
willing to contribute around $2k to this and if we could get enough
people
to do likewise, then that project would be much more likely to take off.
In
short, money talks.
