As far as I know, different GSoC projects in the past have handled this 
differently. Some gave all the "mentors funds" to the mentors, some gave some 
part of it to the mentors and the rest to the project, while others gave all 
to the project.

In other words: I think it's up to us. (Or rather, you, who are doing the 
work :-)

I'd think it would also ok (if the mentors are fine with it), if some mentors 
keep the money, while others donate it.

AFAIK tux4kids also has (almost) no real costs at the moment. We mostly use 
alioth (.debian.org) and (historically) sourceforge, and both services are 
free. 

The only real costs, afaik, are the domain costs for tux4kids.com, currently 
paid by Sam Hart (bcc:ed for courtesty) - but those are probably also only 
10$ a year or such.
