In theory sure, but you have to evaluate how likely it is.
Some typical dynamics:
Big org platform -> exposed to risk, as you are not a significant addition to their bottom line
Small donation platform -> Can be easily bullied by payment processors to "derisk"

every.org is a bit special, as it only lists 501c nonprofits - which the Zig Foundation is - and AFAIK has a decent track record. Most other open source projects don't clear that bar.
