How would one go about being a 'rogue' OSS contributor so to speak? Live off of donations, bounties, hackathons, ect?

I managed to convince my org that releasing projects as open-source was the best way to go (we're a hardware company, so this makes lots of sense). So now, my job is to create open-source projects from internal research projects.
