The community funding feature sounds really interesting, it reminds me of some other crowd-funding sites though I think this one would make more sense in this kind of context - seeing that people are helping to fund something in a community that they are already a part of.
The best thing about the community investment fund is that the community do not directly raise funds for the applicants; the sale of pre-allocated tokens is what raises capital. This also helps to maintain liquidity on exchanges as users who are successful in their application will sell their tokens to raise funds.
