There's at least one example; Linux Foundation. Just that it has a
somewhat narrow criteria for it's assignment. When discussing this
idea with people, both GNU and the EFF have come up. There's also
the Linux Fund whom I might have a chance to talk to during LinuxTag
in Berlin, in May. From http://www.linuxfund.org:

About Linux Fund

Linux Fund is a community-neutral 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization
that provides financial and administrative support to the open source
community. We have given away over $750,000 to open source events and
projects around the world since our founding in 1999 using funds
raised through our line of credit cards and direct donations.
