Signal's initial funding were $50 million from one of the founders, and
"Between 2013 and 2016, the project received grants from the Knight
Foundation, the Shuttleworth Foundation, and the Open Technology Fund."[0]

They are not in the game to make money. As long as they can cover costs, and
given they are tax-exempt as a non-profit they can't 'get rich' off of it, the
work can continue.
