Enable the users to have access to a "points" system earned via non
filtered ads,
and choose where to channel the money related to such income ?

The software is open source :
code :
https://github.com/adblockplus
https://adblockplus.org/en/source

But the main current model is for profit ?

See :

*Adblock Plus approached the company and offered to push ads through the
extension’s filters in exchange for a third of the profits generated by the
advertising.*
