This is what the Merriam-Webster entry looks like:
crowdfunding (NEW DICTIONARY ENTRY for 2014!)
This word is only eight years old! More from the entry:
"Crowdsourcing," which typically refers to the practice of soliciting services, ideas, or content from a large group of people online, was coined by Jeff Howe in a 2006 article in Wired, and "crowdfunding" was created by entrepreneur Michael Sullivan in that same year.
