I can't remember if there is a crowdfunding service that uses Monero or not. I want to say so but I may've been hallucinating.

When it comes to using crypto to transfer money to a community, I think then who controls the wallet can become controversial and cause problems, since it's usually 1 or a few people. This could be the case if you just use crypto without any crowdfunding service infrastructure. That said, Monero is awesome in that if you publish a private view key, you can demonstrate proof of receipt of all of the funds. Then there would have to be some system of accountability by the organization receiving that money, so that it's allocated FOTPACHly (lol). Once the money is in the hands of the organization, then Monero's untraceable nature becomes kind of a double-edged sword, because it's harder for the crowd to know if it's being used responsibly, but it also makes it resistant to tyrranical forces.
