> So, I'd accept "crowdmatching for public goods" I really like "crowdmatching for public goods". I suspect that if I read that without context, I'd take funding as implied, and be surprised if the thing with that slogan didn't involve funding.

The message I wish to send is "[funding] > public goods through crowdmatching" where [funding] could be other > assistance if we expanded. I don't think any amount of words will prevent others from using the term crowdmatching for exclusive goods. I wish nobody would use the term crowdfunding to describe anything other than funding public goods. "Match" is good because it conveys very simply how the mechanism is different, not because it is a yet-unspoiled term. "Crowdmatching for public goods" very nicely communicates what Snowdrift.coop will soon do, I hope.
