Crowd-funding is tricky. You tend to need a very concrete funding goal and attached project result. The most successful crowd-funded projects also have some way of distributing their resulting product to supporters. None of that is really applicable here. The best you could do is promise some t-shirts, and get another year or two of development with a successful campaign.
