Typical crowdfunder sites, e.g. Kickstarter, charge 8% + 20p per contribution. With the blockchain you can almost entirely eliminate this down to just raw transaction fees + cost to write the smart contract.

Kickstarter brings some value (e.g. neat landing page, network effects etc.), but 8% is a lot to leave on the table.
