The way to install Evolution, Thunderbird, Claws, ... is the same on
every distribution that ships recent versions: You go to your
distribution's software management application and install it. 
No websites included in this process.

Evolution is part of GNOME. http://forums.worldofgnome.org/ is the GNOME
forum I recommend.

Evolution is part of GNOME. There is https://www.gnome.org/friends/ .
GNOME has also been thinking about using Flattr.
In general donations are welcome, but money might not solve the problems
that you're thinking about, while (wo)manpower would.
