Actually, I would expect that this is quite possible. I wouldn't expect them to find enough donor's to provide full time work for several people on an ongoing basis, but that's not what this is about, AIUI. > My concern is about money driving how decisions are taken or not.

I think it's entirely likely that enough small scale donations could be gathered to allow some projects to be minimally funded for short periods without any of the sort of corporate silliness you describe entering in to the equation. If you're talking about orders of magnitude more money, then you're probably right, but I don't think anyone's talking about getting rich here. -- ----------------------------------------------------------------- | ,''`.
