I am curently looking for a tool/Website/something for tracking my donations to different projects. These are partially OSS projects, but could also be NGO's, organizations and stuft like that.

What I want to achieve is set myself a monthly limit in what I want to spend in total and within this tool I want to split this amount to different projects and Organizations. Ideally there would be proposals from project lists from e.g. the EFF, FSFE, prototype Fund, sovereign tech fund, etc. and support for services like liberapay.

Does anybody any good proposals to have a closer look at?

I checked tools like

But they are more designed for receivers of donations. I want something for a donations giver.

KMyMoney? It's a personal finance manager, but you can also use it for your donation tracking.

I know there's a pretty flexible self hosted finance manager called Firefly. Not sure if there's any functionality built in related to donations specifically though.

Figured I'd at least mention it since I only see one other comment so far, just in case it's helpful.

Would a simple spreadsheet not work for this?

Sounds like you want to set a budget and then make sure you’re adhering to it. There are a few options for that. YNAB (you need a budget) is popular in the commercial space and actual budget (https://actualbudget.org/) is an open source project that’s similar. Firefly iii (https://www.firefly-iii.org/) is another open source budgeting software. Those are all web-based.

I’d expect a spreadsheet could be ‘good enough’ depending on how much integration and automation you want.
