How much have you paid to repo collaborators?

Question

Recently started building a snippet reference on every programming language [1], and I'm thinking it might be a good idea to pay to contributors. Maybe sending a tip to buymeacoffee, patreon, others? Any collaborators out there: how much have you received on a free project?[1]: https://github.com/snippetfinder/The-Quick-Snippet-Reference

Not collaborator, but maintainer. In total I receive about $500 per year, with typical bounties of $3-5 per month per person.
