If a "decentralized" messager needs donations to a centralized source providing centralized architecture to exist, I don't think it deserves to exist at all.

If the fundraising is successful, the foundation would be able to continue active development of Session, including launching Session Pro and Session Protocol v2.

If it is unsuccessful, the lack of funding would mean the foundation is not able to support Session in any capacity and will need to be shut down. As a result, Session would be removed from the app stores, and critical infrastructure like the Session file server, push notification server and seed nodes will go offline.

Insult to injury: they're going to use your donations to create a paid plan.

(And if they don't get enough money, what? Will they return the donations?)
