It's literally impossible for Ecosia to donate significantly more to tre planting and other initiatives. 80% of profits always go to the ecological projects, or go to the"tree fund". This tree fund can be used in a (sometimes literal) rainy day. It was, for example, possible to support some of the organizations during the pandemic while their countries suffered total lockdowns. Those communities might have struggled much more otherwise.

The only way to donate much more is... Well, increase revenue. But Ecosia wants that as much as anyone else. If you want to learn more, the financial reports are public... [0]
