Well, not sure if this is the kind of thing you're talking about, but last year I established and donated some initial funding for a not-for-profit organization in the US to fund research and development into decentralized ways for people to communicate ideas over the internet in a way that isn't gameable by traditional disinformation attacks. That organization wasn't setup for Hive development work and doesn't even have any connection to cryptocurrency at all, but a similar organization could potentially be setup for Hive as well at some point.

But I think it may be more difficult to setup such an organization in the US for crypto, because my guess is that the IRS (which regulates not-for-profits) is likely to frown on any not-for-profit organization that does development for a cryptocurrency. As far as I know, such not-for-profits are usually setup in Europe.
