Abstract
Despite the growing body of literature focused on open innovation concepts; crowdfunding, a new paradigm, has emerged an under-researched type of innovation. Literature reviews evidenced that though studies on outsourcing and crowdsourcing are published mostly in recent years, 2011-2015, a significant gap remains for crowdfunding innovation often enabled by the web. The paper focuses on a type of crowdfunding which keep the option of financial rewards, philanthropists and non-profit organizations (as crowd) are solving problems which solution seekers anticipate to be empirically provable, but the source of solutions is uncertain and addressing the challenge perceived to be of high-risk. There is a growing appeal to crowdfunding, but little is known about an effective donation/charity based model. Hence, the author proposes a model underpinned by stakeholder and systems theories for Islamic banks for social entrepreneurship development by which crowd fund might be of instrumental in the progression of poverty alleviation, increasing dynamism of Islamic economies, and removing unemployment in Muslim societies. The instrumentality of the proposed model can be examined empirically in future research
