No, it would not.  OpenNIC currently accepts donations, and that money 
is managed and used to maintain things such as the webservers and NS0 
servers, and to pay for SSL certificates as needed. Maintaining a pool 
of money for specific T2 servers would just be another step similar to 
what is already being done.  Of course not being a legal entity means 
that there is some trust placed with those managing the money -- however 
OpenNIC in general is a trust-based project, where everyone relies on 
each other to keep services running smoothly and manage the funding that 
has already been donated.
