Or alternatively, could a project have a "funding drive to implement X",
where all money donated would only be allowed to be used to implement X?
(if so, what happens if there is surplus? Perhaps the T&Cs would say
that that would become general money).

If so, presumably you could have a "funding drive to implement X" and a
"funding drive to implement Y" running in parallel?


Thanks
