I think most people these days use KickStarter to really fund things but even than, it is a gamble of getting support. It's a shame you can't hold small things offline to gain funding, sometimes a real life venue would allow a night where a person could hold a fundraiser, etc.

Most sites won't hold fundraisers unless it is for Charity.. through I think an user could offer to do an art auction or something for real money.. I know Kami had a board on here once trying to raise money through selling art. If you knew some artists whom would be willing to do that to help, that would be the best bet sometimes to getting funds cause most people don't want to part with money unless they are getting something in return sadly.
