I've thought about this too, and it should somewhat be possible to set up some form of long-lived association, with day-to-day management outsourced to professional service providers. The one-time cost for a domain should be substantial, with the capital put into long-term investments like index funds, which are then used to pay domain renewal (and maybe static webhosting) costs year after year. If people can set up trust funds for their families and estates, I don't see why it's not possible to do a niche "trust fund" for websites. Happy to have someone steal my idea. :)
