In order to be accepted into the GitLab for Open Source Program, applicants must:
- Use OSI-approved licenses for their projects: Every project in the applying namespace must be published under an OSI-approved open source license. [1]
- Not seek profit: An organization can accept donations to sustain its work, but it can’t seek to make a profit by selling services, by charging for enhancements or add-ons, or by other means.
- Be publicly visible: Both the applicant's GitLab.com group or self-managed instance and source code must be publicly visible and publicly available.

Well I guess I would have to split out my one little private repo I use for my dotfiles into a separate account in order to qualify.
("can’t seek to make a profit by selling services, by charging for enhancements or add-ons")
I think it's quite fair to say you're not going to give free services out to open source projects that are seeking to fundraise beyond covering their costs.
