The best way to make browser NOT to close for some time, Use browser.wait(). Inside the wait function write logic for checking either visibilityOf() or invisibilityOf() of an element, which is not visible or it will take time to become invisible on UI. In this case wait() keep on checking the logic until either condition met or timeout reached. You can increase the timeout if you want browser visible more time.

var EC=protractor.ExpectedConditions;
var submitBtnElm = $('input[data-behavior=saveContribution]');

it('Should Search', function() {
   browser.driver.get('http://localhost/enrollments/osda1.html');   
   browser.driver.findElement(by.id('contributePercentValue')).sendKeys(50);
   submitBtnElm.click().then(function() {
   browser.wait(function(){
            EC.invisibilityOf(submitBtnElm).call().then(function(isPresent){
                if(isPresent){
                    return true;
                }
            });
        },20000,'error message');
    });
  });
