I wonder if it'd even be possible to donate it to some foundation that preserves influential websites.

It'd be a pity to leave delicious and just trash it, instead of archiving it somewhere.

Internet Archive[1] is such a foundation. Most people know about the Wayback Machine, but they also preserve structured content like databases of URL shorteners[2]. This makes sense because the world doesn't need hundreds of shorteners, and I expect that most of them to disappear shortly (leaving dangling link behind).
