Typology

1. Donations-based business model
2. Crowdfunding business model
3. Freemium as a business model

To be developed:

1. Ethical finance
2. Social investment and philantropic venture capital
3. Microfinance
4. Social lending
5. Prizes

Important Initiatives

1. Flattr [1], a system for social micro-donations to support online creative work
2. Kachingle, quite similar to Flattr, but uses Paypal and proportionally distributes amongst number of visits to sites users wish to support
3. CivicSponsor [2] is a new twist to crowdfunding--it allows folks to contribute to public projects in their neighborhood. Get new bike lanes from your local government, receive a tax deduction. Great participatory budgeting initiative.
