Bram started giving 100% after getting hired full time by Google, I believe, which continued on. There is an update on the Vim homepage now about it stopping, though I find the wording a bit confusing... I think they are dissolving the charity but still sending donations to Uganda? I feel a bit dumb for not understanding it but you can read the update on https://www.vim.org/. Unfortunately they don't have target links for dates, it's the [2025-10-28] update.

The OP covers this question at the bottom; donations still go to the same people in Uganda, iiuc.

I wanted to understand it too, so I clicked on the donate button and was greeted by this message: 'All donations are directed toward a good cause: helping children in Uganda. This charity is personally recommended by Vim’s creator. Funds are used to support a children's center in southern Uganda, providing food, education, and health care to communities affected by AIDS.'

It's not their fault if donors don't read what they're donating for. This reminds me of people feeling scammed after donating to Mozilla.
