I am surprised that NTP project is not funded, fully or partially, by larger organizations or governments, given the criticality of the project.

It's not really clear why they need this money either?

Really? The sentence at the top of the Donate page seems pretty clear to me:

> Your donation helps Network Time Foundation maintain the NTP website and provide resources and support to NTP developers.

a website doesn't need $1000

and $1000 seems at the same time to be quite a bit of money, but also too little to be for funding people long term.
