I've discussed this idea with a few editors before

we did have such a fund. IANAL but we would need to set it up as a 501c3
probably and make very sure to keep it very separate from the foundation. The
foundation is more important than anyone editor and must be well insulated
against any legal foul ups by editors.
How many people did we lose due to amorrow? And that was inbox full of
death threats harassment. People leave. Some of them come back. Yes
there are some for who a legal fund might be useful in getting them to
stay but probably not the ones you are thinking of.
