I noticed that transfer companies usually charge fixed amount for each transaction, so donating $1 can easily incur 30%+ fee.
So I would like to find a rule of thumb to minimize the fees yet cover all projects I like
Any tips?

It's not ideal, but I use Patreon to donate to a few different folks at once (I think it still combines transactions to reduce fees...). Otherwise I usually pay the fee, if the amount I'm donating is small and I'm given the choice.
