Raising the money will probably be the easy bit.
Working with Xorg would be good. try to grow it out of their EVoC, get some short term student projects, and the ones that are successful could be extended.
Otherwise you might need to get a suitable company on board who can receive the money and pay somebody wage. It might be worth contacting companies like yorba, fluendo, collabora, codethink etc, and see if they would take on someone paid by a community fund.
You could also contact the krita developers. They successfully raised $4000 to fund a student. http://linuxcrunch.com/content/krita...C4000-donation
