The same is true for the US, as far as I know.
A lot of big research is funded through philanthropy. For example, surgeons and medical oncologist can receive some large donations from their patients.
These are a drop in the bucket compared to what's funded by HHS via the NIH.
I would think that donation based research, has strong incentives to also be open access.
