<		The inequities that lead to the need for online fundraising in the first place will not vanish overnight. In the meantime, there is room for models that incorporate aspects of modern crowdfunding schemes without losing sight of the underlying issues nor requiring people in need to self-market their experiences. One example is Watsi, a non-profit that works with medical partners on-the-ground to identify patients whose treatments can be funded by a general pool of donations.

Perhaps the best approaches are offline: Last summer, ad-hoc mutual aid groups and bond funds were formed throughout the country in response to waves of civil unrest. While many groups used the Internet to seek and facilitate for their projects, the decentralized nature of these approaches ensured not only direct financial assistance but also meaningful civic engagement with their communities.
