Linking to MIRI's donation page might be useful but please please don' link to LessWrong on 4chan - it could have some horrible consequences.

What's the likelihood of 4chan finding LW by way of MIRI?

Around zero:

Someone on 4chan is likely to know of MIRI's connection to LW, and point that out there.

I would assume that there is a good chance of a few 4chan members finding LW through MIRI, but a fairly small chance that a large enough number to cause problems will.

A few members of 4chan that want to cause problems can encourage other members to go along with them.
