Ask HN: Would you fund Open Source projects?

We have platforms to fund charity, creative projects, almost anything, but in most of these platforms, Open Source projects are not very welcomed, and in some others they will not gain the right momentum. So I started to think that maybe, a platform to support ONLY Open Source could be very useful. The platform's goal is to fund long development cycles, it's not meant to compete against bug-bounty programs, but to support design and implementation of long production cycles like from alpha to stable, new major version, big technology update or similar.

So the question is, would you or your company support Open Source projects that you use via a dedicated crowdfunding platform?
