Well, it's not exactly THAT simple, because first as a project you need to have a registered non-profit organization as well as a bank account. Then, you need to be registered with Paypal, and then once everything is setup and you've chosen Paypal as your main avenue of donations, they're going to shut you down because everyone doing something remotely good gets shut down from that capitalist cauldron of evil. So in fact you need to be on Liberapay, Patreon, Tippee, OpenCollective, Paypal, HelloAsso and more in order to be sure you're not going to lose your source of donations from one day to the next. I mean if only every finance services provider was as transparent and benevolent as Liberapay, all would be fine. But we live in a grim world, and even Liberapay was almost shut down due to not finding a suitable finance service provider after Mangopay threw them out. That's why i truly appreciate when some established non-profits help gather funds for smaller projects. For example, the disroot.org hosting coop redirects some funds to free-software projects they either use directly or encourage their users to use. What i appreciate even more, is when i can donate cash in person to volunteers during free-software conferences, and/or buy a souvenir like a nice t-shirt... That's truly the only way i know where my money is going, cryptocurrencies aside.
