Crowdfunding RFID Security Research

I've been thinking about doing some research on the security of RFID tags/access cards/etc.

This is the same topic which the Mythbusters have been banned from discussing by the Discovery Channel due to concerns by the network's advertisers reasons unknown.

RFID is used by retailers for inventory control, building access control, livestock tracking, credit cards, passports, and even medical uses. And yet, there have been very few in-depth security studies of RFID technology.

Unfortunately, RFID equipment isn't cheap, and there are a lot of different RFID tags out there. So, I'm probably going to need to turn to crowdfunding to get the project going.

I've never used crowdfunding, and I'm aware there are a lot of different options. Any suggestions? I'm open to any helpful ideas.
