Such a campaign would work on getting funding for a specific new Feature for the Tor Project, be it a new website, specific enhancements to the TBB or Tor, or other things.
It would require:
1. People to organize it
2. A specific goal (and comprehensible description of the relevance of that goal) and a price tag for that goal
3. Pledge tiers (Stickers, Shirts, ...?)
4. ...?
An example for what a basic crowdfunding could look like would be the GnuPG crowdfunding drive: http://goteo.org/project/gnupg-new-website-and-infrastructure
I would propose to use this ticket for discussion on the topic, and, once a consensus has been reached, to create new tickets for the individual tasks associated with a crowdfunding drive.

Instead of / in addition to a generic "we need money to run this service", it could display (an excerpt of) a story from a Tor user or developer. "Tor has saved my life while I was in Syria", "I am working on Tor because...", and so on.
We could also add those stories on the donation page itself (maybe in a box with the stories sliding through, like this image gallery: http://foundation.zurb.com/docs/components/orbit.html)
This is somewhat related to #10264 (Ticket).
This Idea came up in the workshop "How you can help Tor" during 30c3.
