Sponsoring a domain name

crosspost of webdev

Hello

is there a way to "sponsor" a domain name for someone.

example: someone passed away and had a website which you liked. But since he cannot buy his domain name, could someone buy it for him ?

Or make a special bank/crypto account to pay for this ?

I feel like a crypto account would be a Good solution because you can generally make a donation very easily ( the only problem is the company that retrieves the money to pay for the domain name).

The other idea would be to use WebArchive but websites on WebArchive feel sometimes broken

thanks
