As in they are also funded by donations, or do the creators themselves pay for entry?

They say they are funded by donations:

> How is Liberapay funded? Are there fees?

Do you suppose their 41 members split the 700 euros evenly each month or have some kind of Ramen group buy system?
No need to guess: https://liberapay.com/Liberapay/income/ . Most money goes to the creator of Liberapay, and I would not be surprised if it would mainly cover the costs of running the service.
