I'm not sure of Microsoft's Windows Store policies on this, but it might be possible to have Inkscape added to the store with two listings for the same binary: a regular free listing, and one priced at a recommended donation amount ($5, $10 or whatever).
That's an idea worth thinking about. It's been done in other places.
Even with Microsoft's 30% cut, having a lower friction way that users can donate might bring in money that wouldn't otherwise get donated by users if they had to go through the website to find the donate page and think up an amount to donate.
The only other place, would be inside the app itself. Which is fine, but we'd have to develop a few of those UI pieces to integrate the community better. Donations, forums, alerts about new versions etc.
