...i say "no different than any other charity"... except it also couldn't be more different. There is next to zero middleman involved here. There's _nothing_ stopping the OSS team from being its own arbiter. As long as the funders trust the team enough to not rug them, this would mean 2 of the 3 roles are played by the developers, and the last role is played by the funder(s) - which is to say: Direct community-funded software, no 501c-whatever nudging in between.
